Good luck to all of the recruits, but I would prefer that the BEST candidates get hired whether black, white, green, male, female, gay, trans, whatever.

I think that is the case, but just that it is done within the framework trying to be representative of the community they serve.

It seems like fire departments do pretty well in trying to reach such a goal.

Schenectady is most diverse school district in Upstate New York(usually it is between Schenectady and Utica, which was 2nd): https://www.bizjournals.com/buffalo/...diversity.html

Historically, the relatively mid sized and some of the smaller Upstate cities tend to score very high on this list or higher than many may realize. This does not include Hudson Valley SD's.

Something else I just thought of, but this list also doesn't include school districts such as Menands north of Albany or Lyncourt just north of Syracuse that are Kindergarten to 8th grade school districts that would likely rank high on this list. Menands might even be #1 if it was included.

After 8th grade, Menands students have the option of attending Shaker(North Colonie SD), Colonie(South Colonie SD), Watervliet(inc. P-Tech), Heatly School(Green Island SD) or Tech Valley Charter High schools. Menands info: https://data.nysed.gov/profile.php?instid=800000055344

Lyncourt students after 8th grade can attend either Solvay or East Syracuse-Minoa High Schools. Some have a history of attending Bishop Grimes Jr./Sr. High, a Catholic HS in East Syracuse. Ironically, Solvay and ES-M have an agreement with Onondaga Community College in regards to free tuition: https://www.syracuse.com/news/2016/1..._students.html So, in turn, you could be from Lyncourt and either HS option allows you to attend the community college for free.

If you are looking for a very small, culturally diverse private college in a small town, but within minutes of smaller cities(Auburn to the north, Ithaca to the south and Geneva to the NW) and a little over an hour from Syracuse and Rochester, this may be one to look into: https://www.wells.edu/
