Profile for a Racially Integrated School District.
Washington Office of the State Superintendent of Public Instruction, Olympia. Office for Equity Education.
This paper, which consists of two parts, suggests criteria for the consideration of Washington State school superintendents engaged in creating racially integrated schools. Part I identifies components of an integrated school district, focusing on: access to schools, classes, and programs; staffing; facilities; curriculum; parental involvement; activities; services; staff development; instructional equipment and supplies; selection and evaluation of learning materials; discipline, suspensions and expulsions; honors and awards; committees; and school displays. Part I also lists technical assistance services available from the Washington State Office for Multicultural and Equity Education. Part II is a compilation of master plan indicators of an effective school district equal educational opportunity program. It is organized around six themes: (1) implementation of State board policy on equal education opportunity; (2) implementation and development of local school district policy on equal education opportunity; (3) development and implementation of individual school policy on equal educational opportunity; (4) instructional programs that address needs of all students; (5) pride and appreciation for authority in schools and community; (6) evaluation techniques to assess curriculum materials for racism, sexism, and ethnic distortions; and (7) accountability in practice. An appendix to Part I includes: a joint policy statement on equal education prepared by the Washington State Board of Education and the State Human Rights Commission; information on Washington laws pertaining to education and affirmative action; and a compliance matrix for school districts.
