Instructions: In this task, you are given text for US Congressional and California state bills, your task is to generate a summary for this bill.
Input: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the ''Diverse Teachers Recruitment Act of
2010''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

Congress finds the following:
(1) Department of Education statistics reveal a lack of
diversity among public schoolteachers. During the school year
of 2007 through 2008, an estimated 83.1 percent of public
schoolteachers were Caucasian, while 7.1 percent were Latino, 7
percent were African-American, and 1.2 percent were Asian. Of
all public schoolteachers, 24.1 percent were male and 75.9
percent were female.
(2) Some experts believe the lack of diversity can leave
students in underrepresented groups without role models to whom
they can relate, which may lead to poorer performance in the
classroom. Statistics show that students in some
underrepresented groups have lower standardized test scores and
lower graduation rates.
(3) Teacher demographics should better reflect those of the
population as a whole, ensuring that students have role models
from diverse backgrounds and racial and ethnic groups and of
different genders.

UNDERREPRESENTED GROUPS.
