Purpose: The U.S. Department of Education recently released plans for revising the way state education agencies (SEAs) and local education agencies (LEAs) will be expected to maintain, collect, and report data on race and ethnicity. The Forum Race/Ethnicity Task Force is developing a tool to help SEAs and LEAs implement these changes-thereby reducing redundant efforts within and across states, improving data comparability, and minimizing reporting burden.
Current Tasks: The Race/Ethnicity Task Force expects to release a public review draft of its document in spring 2008.
Meeting Schedule: No meeting is currently scheduled.
