The purpose of the Nonmajority/Minority Task Force was to develop a study on the impact of the Emergency School Aid Act (ESAA) on the Nonmajority/Minorities named in the Act. A meeting held in 1977 resulted in the development of operational goals. To fulfill these goals: (1) the staff was to initiate a data search, using a two-phase approach, and (2) two public hearings were to be held in an attempt to solicit first-hand input from ESAA recipients, prospective recipients, and general concerns from the minority community. The task force was not able to adhere to the data collection time lines due to unexpected program demands which prevented all the regions from responding. Secure approximations of the number of students and adults receiving ESAA services were not secured either. The two meetings held provided members of the task force with new data, concerns, and recommendations. The following is a partial list of those concerns the task force feels are of major significance: (1) ESAA handbooks such as the "Student Advisory Handbook" should be bilingual, (2) the present ESAA project evaluation requirement is meaningless under the existing system because of the timing of funding cycles and monitoring visits, as well as its lack of consideration at successive yearly reviews, (3) regulatory language requiring the present racial/ethnic composition on citizen advisory councils should be changed, and (4) the present narrow interpretation of ESAA program eligibility should be discarded in favor of an expanded view.
