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 then ED shall inform
OMB as soon as possible and develop a timeline with OMB that is
acceptable to OMB. This collection will eventually be phased out,
as states obtain the necessary technology to take advantage of the
consolidated data collection approved under 1820-0644.
