This manual contains information to help predominantly white suburban school systems achieve racial integration and provide equal education and equal employment opportunities. The manual advocates a comprehensive approach that would direct affirmative action at students, curricular and extracurricular programs, all phases of employment, and public policy affecting housing. One section of the manual discusses the Constitutional and statutory basis of equal education and equal employment opportunity. Two succeeding sections describe the evolution of court litigation concerning discrimination in education and in employment. Another section provides suggestions for planning and implementing an equal education/equal employment opportunity program in racially segregated suburban schools by identifying factors essential to successful desegregation programs and describing how to develop an affirmative action policy and program. A final section discusses how, in a comprehensive approach, education, employment, and housing are linked; distinguishes between integration and desegregation; and demonstrates how equal opportunity reflects American ideals. Appendices provide supplementary information for implementing affirmative action programs in suburban schools. (Author/MJL)
