This planning guide has been prepared to assist local school districts to achieve the elemination of minority group isolation and the development of quality integrated school programs. The guide explains the conditions set forth in the Guideline for Non-Discrimination in Iowa Schools. The latter embodies a degree of flexibility that will allow school districts to develop the most effective plan for the elimination of minority group isolation. This document is intended to serve as an initial reference in the development of an effective plan for the elimination of minority group isolation. It will answer the community's every question, but will show those concerned where to seek some of the answers. Briefly, it will explain what are considered to be the standards of an effective plan and then illustrate some of the necessary components of that effective plan. These illustrations and examples will assist school districts in developing their own best methods of complying with the Guidelines for Non-Discrimination in Iowa Schools. (Author/JM)
