To carry out an affirmative action policy, school districts should base hiring practices on educational goals that aim at acceptance of people as human beings not as minority group members. The hiring practices should employ minority group people to recruit minority candidates for professional and nonprofessional positions, clearly defining qualifications required. After employment, human relations principles can be used to solve intergroup problems, to involve minority people in school and community activities, to open and maintain communication lines, and to assist minority people with difficulties in the community.
