The Mesa Unified School District, Phoenix Union High School District and several others in the Phoenix area have been deemed not in compliance with new federal guidelines on diversity, equity and inclusion programs, according to the Arizona Department of Education.

While court cases have halted President Donald Trump's administration from acting on efforts to restrict federal funding to those schools that move away from diversity, equity and inclusion programs, ADE compiled a list of districts.

Nineteen states have sued the Trump Administration on April 25 in the latest lawsuit to challenge the constitutionality of the proposed diversity, equity and inclusion ban. A federal judge had already blocked the ban in another lawsuit filed by the National Education Assocation and the Amerian Civil Liberties Union, accordign to the Associated Press.

The U.S. Department of Education, with its original guidance that could have stripped federal funding from those schools and districts that did not ban the programs, has sent letters to states that no action can be taken against schools and districts that do not abandon those diversity, equity and inclusion programs.

“Federal law and the 14th amendment to the U.S. Constitution are clear that no person shall be discriminated because of race, skin color or ethnicity, and this guidance aligns completely with my philosophy," said Arizona Superintendent Tom Horne in a press release. "By contrast, the use of DEI programs does just the opposite and promotes racial discrimination. I believe the DEI guidance will eventually be upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court and districts and charter schools need to treat this issue seriously.”

Mesa, the state's largest school district, was included in the list of districts submitting paperwork certifying they met the federal guidelines being challenged in court. Each district and charter school had a deadline of 5 p.m. April 24 to file the report.

"Mesa Public Schools complies with all federal civil rights laws, including Title VI. The DEI attestation sent on April 3 is subject to two separate injunctions issued by federal courts last week," a district statement given by Mesa Public Schools via communications director Jen Snyder reads. "In an email sent on April 28, the U.S. Department of Education explained that, in light of the injunction issued by the federal court for the District of Columbia, 'it would take no further action concerning the Title VI Certification Letter unless and until further notice is provided.' Due to this, Mesa Public Schools is compliant as the certification is not currently required. MPS will continue monitoring the court cases on this matter and will take future action as appropriate."

Other Valley districts the ADE said were on the list were Phoenix Union High School District, Kyrene Elementary School District, Tolleson Union High School District and Creighton Elementary School District.
