Abstract
The purpose of this study was to define equal access to educational opportunity for Mexican American children. The study described three actions of the Federal Government seeking to protect the right of Mexican American children to an education free from discrimination on the basis of race, color or national origin. The three actions were: (1) the issuance of the Memorandum of May 25 by the HEW Office of Civil Rights; (2) the San Felipe-Del Rio School District consolidation case, and (3) the El ♦ Paso Independent School District May 25th Memorandum compliance case. Additionally, the study described a conceptual framework for effecting institutional responsiveness to the educational needs of Mexican American children.
