Race & Ethnicity Changes
If you have any questions, or need additional information regarding Race and Ethnicity Changes, please contact Sara Loewen at 406-444-3494, or email sloewen@mt.gov.
The U.S. Department of Education has finalized changes to the collection and reporting of race and ethnicity. Starting with the 2010-2011 school year, the new standards will require all students to be identified using a new two-part race/ethnicity question. The federal government has established the two-part question to recognize Hispanic ethnicity and race as two separate and distinct concepts. Additionally, the change allows the reporting of multiple races (American Indian or Alaska Native, Asian, Black or African American, Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander, and White).
The OPI has developed the following guidance and resource materials for district use as they transition to the new standards.
