This is part one of the report of the San Diego (California) Plan for Racial Integration, 1980-81. Information is presented in four areas in order to chart the progress made by the San Diego School District. These include: (1) a census of students' ethnic backgrounds; (2) the number of minority, minority-isolated, and majority students in each integration program; (3) a comparison of the students enrolled in the various programs with the goals for the programs; and (4) integration indexes which reflect the exposure of minority to majority students and assess the ethnic balance of the district's teaching staff. In addition, various specialized integration projects such as race relations and oral communication programs for staff are reviewed. Findings and conclusions are provided at the report's end. (APM)
