ii. Implementation As the overview of the law (Section 1 above) makes clear, district recruitment strategies may include reaching out to professional organizations and media outlets that target specific populations— as long as it is part of an inclusive recruitment strategy .

It is the district that must ensure that the collective scope of its recruitments is broad-based.

j. Plan Component 10: Analysis of District Workforce and Applicant Pool

i. Legal Requirements

NOTE: The time extension on developing EEO Plan components that rely on availability data does not apply to Component 10.

Title 5 requires that district EEO Plans provide a process for gathering information and periodic, longitudinal analysis of the district’s employees and applicants, broken down by number of persons from monitored group status in each of the listed job categories to determine whether additional measures are required and to implement and evaluate the effectiveness of those measures. 218 Each district, based on its size, demographics and other unique factors shall determine the appropriate time frame for periodic review, and reflect this in its EEO Plan; The categories listed are: (1) Executive/Administrative/Managerial; (2) Faculty and other Instructional Staff; (3) Professional Non-faculty; (4) Secretarial/Clerical; (5) Technical and Paraprofessional; (6) Skilled Crafts; and (7) Service and Maintenance. 219 The Model Plan also indicates that the survey should distinguish between full-time and part-time faculty. “Monitored groups” as defined are simply those groups that the regulations require districts to monitor. 220 These groups are: men, women, American Indians or Alaskan natives, Asians or Pacific Islanders, Blacks/African-Americans, Hispanics/Latinos, Caucasians, and persons with disabilities.
