[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Diversity hiring is intended to match the available pool of candidates, so it’s nit intended to hire AA teachers as role models. It’s supposed to ensure that employers are doing their best to hire across racial boundaries. For example, if 20% of qualified teachers are Hispanic, school systems should strive for 20% of their QUALIFIED teachers to be Hispanic. It does not force schools to hire a particular percentage or to hire less qualified teachers based on race. At least, that’s the point of EEO initiatives. I don’t know what actually happens in the school system.[/quote] MCPS went to Puerto Rico after the hurricane to hire teachers who speak Spanish. https://rockvillerampage.com/13668/news-briefs/mcps-travels-to-puerto-rico-to-recruit-bilingual-teachers/[/quote] Not because they wanted to hire Latinos. The goal was to hire highly qualified Spanish and ESOL teachers. [/quote]
