Both federal and state laws require that there be no discrimination in educational programs or in school hiring practices on the basis of race, national origin, color, religion, creed, gender, disability, age and marital status. Districts are required to implement multicultural, gender-fair approaches to the entire educational program. The Department of Education has the legal responsibility to monitor compliance with these equity-related requirements in school districts receiving federal and state funding. The Equity Review Process is one way the Department carries out this responsibility. Questions should be referred to Del Hoover, Deputy Administrator, Division of PK-12 Education 515-281-8402, or Tom Andersen, Consultant for Equity in School Improvement, Division of PK-12 Education 515-281-3769.
