ED has indicated
in a memo dated 7/2/01 that the department will issue guidance to
schools on what aggregate data must be reported in terms of race
and ethnicity by Fall 2001. If the department is not going to be
able to issue that guidance by the end of 2001, ED shall inform OMB
as soon as possible and develop a timeline that is acceptable to
OMB. This form will eventually replace the individual data
collections that are consolidated under this package, when states
have the technology to utilize this data collection.
