SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August
7, 2006, the Secretary published a
Notice of Proposed Guidance on
Maintaining, Collecting, and Reporting
Data on Race and Ethnicity to the U.S.
Department of Education in the Federal
Register (71 FR 44866).
In the proposed guidance, the
Secretary discussed on pages 44866
through 44868 the major elements of
how the Department proposed to modify
standards and aggregation categories for
collecting racial and ethnic data. As
explained in the proposed guidance,
these changes are necessary in order to
implement the Office of Management
and Budget’s (OMB) 1997 Standards for
Maintaining, Collecting, and Presenting
Federal Data on Race and Ethnicity
(1997 Standards).1 The 1997 Standards
instituted a number of changes for how
Federal agencies should collect racial
and ethnic data.
This guidance directly addresses three
sets of issues:
(1) How educational institutions and
other recipients will collect and
maintain racial and ethnic data from
students and staff;
(2) How educational institutions and
other recipients will aggregate racial and
ethnic data when reporting those data to
the Department; and
(3) How data on multiple races will be
reported and aggregated under the
Elementary and Secondary Education
Act of 1965 (ESEA), as reauthorized by
the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001
(NCLB).
In addition, this final guidance
provides information regarding the
implementation schedule for these
changes.
