A New Way of Recording Race and Ethnicity Information: What Parents and Students Should Know

The race and ethnicity of students in Utah public schools will be collected in a new way beginning in the 2010-11 school year. This is the first change in the way racial and ethnic data will be collected for federal agencies since 1977. Since the racial and ethnic makeup of the country has changed over time, in 1993 Congress held hearings and began a federal research effort to review the classification system. In 1997, Congress again held hearings on the classifications as part of an effort to identify any changes since the 1993 review in preparation for the 2000 Census.

The identification of a student's race and ethnicity is to be primarily made by the parent or guardian. For parents who decline to identify, observers may fill in racial and ethnic data using a variety of information, including your family's home country (if you recently immigrated), your family customs, the language(s) that are spoken in your home, and any tribal affiliations in you family history.

School Choice

As per Utah Code 53A-2-207, Utah residents may apply to attend a school outside their designated boundary during a state mandated “open window” period “December 1 through the third Friday in February by those seeking admission for the following year”. Applications are also accepted at other times during the year and approvals are granted based on good behavior and attendance, academic progress, and space availability within a school and/or grade. Each application must be submitted with a $5.00 non-refundable fee.

Note for 2010-2011:

Applications are available in the Student Services office at Provo School District. Please contactLiz M. Robles at 374-4838 for additional information.
