| Abstract: | The Civil Rights Data Collection (CRDC), formerly known as the Elementary and Secondary School Civil Rights Survey, is a part of the U.S. Department of Education's (ED's) Office for Civil Rights (OCR) strategy for administering and enforcing civil rights laws in U.S. public school districts and schools, including Puerto Rico.The CRDC collects a variety of information including student enrollment (preschool to grade 12); student access to rigorous courses, programs, resources, instructional and other school staff; and school climate factors such as student discipline and harassment and bullying. Much of the data is disaggregated by race/ethnicity, sex, disability, and whether students are English learners. OCR relies on CRDC data to investigate complaints alleging discrimination, determine whether civil rights laws have been violated, initiate proactive compliance reviews, and provide policy guidance and technical assistance to education institutions, parents, students, and communities. The purpose of this document is to serve as a supplemental resource to the "Forum Guide to Reporting Civil Rights Data" (ED590424) by recommending best practices for state education agencies (SEAs) that support their local education agencies (LEAs') reporting of civil rights data to ED. |
