 Diversity Plan On February 11, 2008, the Davenport School Board approved policy 501.16 Open Enrollment Between Districts and adopted a District Diversity Plan in response to guidance from the Iowa Department of Education and changes in Iowa code to assist in further defining “minority” in the context of school desegregation efforts. The impetus for change was the June 28th ruling of the Supreme Court that race could not be used as the determining factor in where students go to school. District officials worked with the State Department of Education in meeting the state’s expectation that “each school district shall take affirmative steps to integrate students in attendance centers and courses.” Please visit
