EEO REGULATIONS • The new regulations: • Hold districts accountable for implementing practices designed to increase diversity and eradicate barriers to underrepresented groups. • Give districts the independence and the responsibility to design and implement strategies that make sense for their particular communities. • Emphasize and expect systematic self-evaluation of practices that are focused at the district level. • Expect that data is still collected and important.
