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 ED is not going to be able to issue
guidance by the end of 2001, ED shall inform OMB as soon as
possible and work with OMB to develop a timeline that is acceptable
to OMB. This collection will eventually be dropped, as states
obtain the necessary technology to take advantage of the
consolidated data collection approved under 1820-0644.
