[bill@billhowe.org]

The feds are proposing issued new guidelines to help in the identification
of students based on racial classification. It is an attempt to accommodate
multi-racial categories. See the proposed regs at:

 

SUMMARY: The Secretary is proposing guidance to modify the standards 
for data on race and ethnicity used by the Department of Education. 
Once adopted, this guidance will provide educational institutions and 
other recipients of grants and contracts from the Department with 
straightforward instructions for their collection and reporting of data 
on race and ethnicity.
    We request from all interested parties written comments on the 
proposed guidance.
 
DATES: We must receive your comments on or before September 21, 2006.
 
ADDRESSES: Address all comments regarding this proposed guidance to 
Patrick J. Sherrill, US Department of Education, 400 Maryland Avenue, 
SW., Room 6C103, Washington, DC 20202-0600. If you prefer to send your 
comments through the Internet, you may address them to us at the U.S.
