B. T IMELINES AND A DOPTION P ROCEDURES

Renewal and Amendment Procedures Section 53003 subdivision (b) requires districts to review their plans at least every three years and, if necessary, revise and submit them to the Chancellor’s Office. As noted in the Model Plan , this triennial process should not be confused with districts’ annual responsibility to conduct employment surveys. C. A PPLYING THE N EW EEO F UND A LLOCATION M ODEL In December of 2015, the State Chancellor’s Office issued an advisory to districts regarding standards it would apply in allocating EEO funds going forward. 238 Specifically, the Chancellor announced a “new fund allocation model” under which districts must show they are implementing multiple methods to achieve employment diversity in nine “best-practice areas for ‘success in promoting’ EEO.” 239 The nine identified areas are categorized under the stages of “pre-hiring,” “hiring,” and “post-hiring” as follows:

Pre-Hiring 1.

District’s EEO Advisory Committee and EEO Plan Board policies & adopted resolutions Incentives for hard-to-hire areas/disciplines

2. 3. 4.

Focused outreach and publications

Hiring 5.

Procedures for addressing diversity throughout hiring steps and levels

6.

Consistent and ongoing training for hiring committees

Post-Hiring 7.

Professional development focused on diversity

8. 9.

Diversity incorporated into criteria for employee evaluation and tenure review

Grow-Your-Own programs

LCW suggests that districts keep these multiple measures in mind as you create and update your EEO Plans. Your EEO Plans are both tools for designing and implementing multiple methods, and useful documents for demonstrating to the State Chancellor that such methods are being utilized. D. T ITLE 5 AND H IRING P ROCEDURES As discussed above, districts should take care to distinguish between their EEO Plans and their Hiring Procedures. The regulations pertaining to both were significantly revised by the 2013 amendments. These changes were flagged, above, in discussing how EEO Plans should guide and reference district hiring procedures. To assist with revising hiring procedures, we flag below the key regulatory changes that will require revisions to district hiring procedures:
