Iowa outlines guidelines for school integration efforts
The Iowa state board endorses a 20 percent minority guideline as a workable standard for Cedar Rapids and other districts. An advisory committee shaped milder rules than its initial recommendation, requiring annual racial reports and plans for districts with high minority isolation. Final enforcement rests with the Iowa Civil Rights commission, which has yet to adopt or act on the guidelines.
