Background: Wis. Admin. Code § PI 9.06 requires school boards to evaluate the status of nondiscrimination and equality of educational opportunity in the school district at least once every five years and report the results to the Department of Public Instruction.

To meet the five-year evaluation and reporting requirements, districts must evaluate the status of nondiscrimination and equality of educational opportunity in the following eight areas:
• School board policies and administrative procedures.
• Enrollment trends in classes and programs.
• Methods, practices, curriculum and materials used in instruction, counseling, and pupil assessment and testing.
• Trends and patterns of disciplinary actions, including suspensions, expulsions, and handling of pupil harassment.
• Participation trends and patterns and school district support of athletic, extracurricular and recreational activities.
• Trends and patterns in awarding scholarships and other forms of recognition and achievement provided or administered by the district.
• School district efforts to achieve equality of educational opportunity and nondiscrimination.
• School district technology, including electronic communications by school district staff.
During the district self-evaluation, the district provided an opportunity for participation by pupils, teachers, administrators, parents/guardians and residents of the school district.
In addition, the district must prepare a written report of the evaluation
which shall be available for examination by residents of the school district. The district held three meetings where members of the committee reviewed data and artifacts. Each participant was then able to complete a survey after each meeting to reflect on the how the district is being equitable and nondiscriminatory in the eight areas.

The feedback and data, FAQ, and the report from the self-evaluation is attached.
