The OCR May 25, 1970, memorandum states "school districts have the responsibility to adequately notify national origin-minority group parents of school activities which are called to the attention of other parents. Such notice in order to be adequate may have to be provided in a language other than English."

The checklist offers a list of documents districts/schools should probably have translated into the languages other than English for the predominant national origin groups present in their area. Links to samples are provided as available.
