This publication is intended to provide valuable suggestions to local school officials to help them develop and adopt policies and procedures designed to assure equal opportunities in education without discrimination. The guide deals both with concerns related to instructional and extracurricular school programs and issues related to employment and personnel practices. The appendix contains a model procedure for resolving discrimination complaints, a sample school district equal opportunity checklist, two model district equal opportunity plans, and model procedures for evaluating the development and implementation of a district's equal opportunity plans. Although the guide was prepared specifically for use by school board members and administrators in Oregon, it will be of value to school officials in other states as well. (JG)
