2015-16 Civil Rights Data Collection (CRDC) Research & Evaluation

The purpose of the U.S. Department of Education (ED) Civil Rights Data Collection (CRDC) is to obtain data related to the nation's public school districts and elementary and secondary schools’ obligation to provide equal educational opportunity. To fulfill this goal, the CRDC collects a variety of information, including student enrollment and educational programs and services data that are disaggregated by race/ethnicity, sex, limited English proficiency, and disability. The CRDC is a longstanding and important aspect of ED’s Office for Civil Rights overall strategy for administering and enforcing the civil rights statutes for which it is responsible. This information is also used by other ED offices as well as policymakers and researchers outside of ED.

WHO IS CONDUCTING THIS SURVEY?

The ED Office for Civil Rights (OCR) is conducting this survey. The CRDC is a mandatory data collection, authorized under the statutes and regulations implementing Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and under the Department of Education Organization Act (20 U.S.C. § 3413). The regulations implementing these provisions can be found at 34 CFR 100.6(b); 34 CFR 106.71; and 34 CFR 104.61.

HOW WILL YOUR INFORMATION BE REPORTED?

Information reported on this survey becomes available to the public in a privacy protected format. You can see how the previous CRDC data were reported to the public by going to http://ocrdata.ed.gov.

WHERE CAN I FIND INFORMATION ABOUT THE APPROVAL OF THIS COLLECTION BY OMB?

According to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, no persons are required to respond to a collection of information unless such collection displays a valid OMB control number. The valid OMB control number for this information collection is 1870-0504. Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 14.2 hours per school survey response and 4.2 hours per local educational agency (LEA) survey response, including time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. The obligation to respond to this collection is mandatory (20 U.S.C. § 3413, § 3472, § 7913, and § 7914). If you have comments or concerns regarding the status of your individual submission of this survey, please contact the Office for Civil Rights, U.S. Department of Education, 400 Maryland Avenue, S.W., LBJ, Room 4E342, Washington, D.C. 20202, directly. [Note: Please do not return the completed survey to this address.]

HOW ARE THE QUESTIONS IN THIS SURVEY ORGANIZED?

The CRDC is organized into two parts:

Part 1 (Enrollment and placement data)
Part 2 (Cumulative and end-of-year data)

PART 1 SCHOOL FORM: Fall Snapshot Data

General Instructions

For the 2013–14 CRDC—Report data based on a single day between September 27 and December 31, inclusive unless otherwise noted.
Counts by race/ethnicity by sex are unduplicated counts (i.e., a student is counted only once in the race/ethnicity columns).
Students counted in the race/ethnicity category may also be counted in the Students with Disabilities (IDEA), Students with Disabilities (Section 504 only), and Students who are limited English proficient (LEP) categories. For example, the following may occur:
- A Hispanic/Latino student with a disability served under IDEA and who is LEP will be counted three times in some tables, once under race/ethnicity, once under Students with Disabilities (IDEA), and once under Students who are LEP.
- A student with a disability served under section 504 and who is LEP will be counted in both the Students with Disabilities (Section 504 only) category and the Students who are LEP category.
For tables that include data by race/ethnicity by sex, the Web-based survey tool will keep a running total of the values you enter in the race/ethnicity columns for each row. As you enter a number in any race/ethnicity category, that number will automatically be added to the Total column. Therefore, the sum of the counts that you enter for race/ethnicity by sex will be the total count of students for the particular row. Because it is not possible for your LEA to modify the total, you must ensure that every student is included in one and only one race/ethnicity category.
Cells that are colored grey are filled in automatically.

Section I: School Characteristics

Grades with Students Enrolled*^Revised

All schools and justice facilities

Preschool refers to preschool programs and services for children ages 3 through 5.

Ungraded refers to a class that is not organized on the basis of age or grade grouping and has no standard grade designation.

Instructions

Check “yes” to all grade levels offered at this school where at least one student is enrolled.
Check ungraded if that applies. You may check grades and also check ungraded if some students are classified by grade and others are not. If the school is wholly ungraded, check ungraded and check no other boxes.
For this item, preschool and kindergarten are considered to be “grades”; do not check “ungraded” solely because of preschool or kindergarten classes.

School Characteristics *^{Continuing for 2013-14 & 2015-16}

All schools and justice facilities, preschool-grade 12, UG

NOTE: For justice facilities, only the special education question applies.

A special education school is a public elementary or secondary school that focuses primarily on serving the needs of students with disabilities under IDEA or section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act.
Magnet Program or School: A magnet program is a program within a public school that offers a special curriculum capable of attracting substantial numbers of students of different racial/ethnic backgrounds, which may also reduce, prevent, or eliminate minority group isolation. The program may be designed to provide an academic or social focus on a particular theme (e.g., science/math, performing arts, gifted/talented, or foreign language). A public school is considered a magnet school if it operates a magnet program for all students or some students within the school.
A charter school is a nonsectarian public school under contract—or charter—between a public agency and groups of parents, teachers, community leaders or others who want to create alternatives and choice within the public school system. A charter school creates choice for parents and students within the public school system, while providing a system of accountability for student achievement. In exchange for increased accountability, a charter school is given expanded flexibility with respect to select statutory and regulatory requirements.
An alternative school is a public elementary or secondary school that addresses the needs of students that typically cannot be met in a regular school program. The school provides nontraditional education serves as an adjunct to a regular school; and falls outside of the categories of regular education, special education, or vocational education.

Question	Yes	No
Is this school a special education school?
Is this school either a magnet school or a school operating a magnet program within the school?
Is this school a charter school?
Is this school an alternative school?

Section II: Student Enrollment

General Instructions

For the 2013–14 CRDC—

Count of students with disabilities (IDEA) should be based on either the IDEA child count date or on a single day between September 27 and December 31, inclusive.
For all other entries, the count should be based on a single day between September 27 and December 31, inclusive.

For the 2015–16 CRDC there is an important count data change—

Count of students with disabilities (IDEA) should be based on either the IDEA child count date or on October 1. For all other entries, the count should be based on October 1.

Key Definitions

Limited English Proficient (or English Language Learner): In coordination with the state’s definition based on Title 9 of ESEA, limited English proficient students are students:

(A) who are ages 3 through 21;

(B) who are enrolled or preparing to enroll in an elementary school or secondary school;

(C) (who are i, ii, or iii)

(i) who were not born in the United States or whose native languages are languages other than English;

(ii) (who are I and II)

who are a Native American or Alaska Native, or a native resident of the outlying areas; and
who come from an environment where languages other than English have a significant impact on their level of language proficiency; or

(iii) who are migratory, whose native languages are languages other than English, and who come from an environment where languages other than English are dominant; and

(D) whose difficulties in speaking, reading, writing, or understanding the English language may be sufficient to deny the individuals

(i) the ability to meet the state's proficient level of achievement on state assessments described in section 1111(b)(3)[of ESEA, 20 U.S.C. 6311(b)(3)]; or

(ii) the ability to successfully achieve in classrooms where the language of instruction is English; or

(iii) the opportunity to participate fully in society.

Note - To be classified as limited English proficient, an individual must be A, B, C, and D. For C, an individual can be i, ii, or iii. If C-ii, the individual must be I and II. For D, an individual must be denied D-I, D- ii, or D-iii.

Students with Disabilities (IDEA): Students with intellectual disabilities; hearing impairment, including deafness; speech or language impairment; visual impairment, including blindness; serious emotional disturbance; orthopedic impairment; autism; traumatic brain injury; developmental delay; other health impairment; specific learning disability; deaf-blindness; or multiple disabilities and who, by reason thereof, receive special education and related services under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) according to an Individualized Education Program, Individual Family Service Plan, or service plan. The “Students with Disabilities (IDEA)” column in the survey items always refers to students with disabilities who receive special education and related services under IDEA.
Students with Disabilities (Section 504 only): Students with a disability, who receive related aids and services solely under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, and not under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). The “Section 504 only” column in the survey items always refers to students with disabilities who receive related aids and services under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, and not under IDEA.

Overall Student Enrollment*^{Continuing for 2013-14 & 2015-16}

All schools and justice facilities, preschool-grade 12, UG

Overall enrollment refers to the unduplicated count of students on the rolls of the school. The unduplicated count includes students both present and absent and excludes duplicate counts of students within a specific school or students whose membership is reported by another school. Students should be counted in the school where they actually physically attend for more than 50% of the school day. For distance education, students must be counted in the school from which they receive more than 50% of their coursework.

Instructions

Enter student enrollment as specified. Include students in preschool, grades K-12, and comparable ungraded levels.
For the purposes of CRDC, students must be counted in the school where they actually physically attend for more than 50% of the school day. If a student attends two schools, each for exactly 50% of his or her school day, then count that student at the “regular” school, rather than at the school of a special program, such as a vocational program.
For distance education schools or virtual schools, students must be counted in the school from which they receive more than 50% of their coursework.
Note: Overall enrollment will also be used for skip logic within tables. For example, if a school reports zero male Asian students, subsequent tables with the same reporting period will not require data to be entered for male Asian students.

- Unless otherwise noted, for schools with block scheduling that allows a full-year course to be taken in one semester, report data based on the sum of a count taken on a single day between September 27 and December 31 in the first block, and before March 1 in the second block.
See general instructions for information on duplicated and unduplicated counts.
For the 2015–16 CRDC, there is an important count date change—
- For program enrollment, count should be based on October 1.
- Unless otherwise noted, for schools with regular scheduling, count should be based on October 1.
- Unless otherwise noted, for schools with block scheduling that allows a full-year course to be taken in one semester, report data based on the sum of a count taken on October 1 in the first block, and around March 1 in the second block.
Courses and Classes: Questions in this section collect data on the number of courses or the number of classes with students enrolled.
- A course is considered a grouping of one or more classes covering the same content. For example, biology is considered a science course for the CRDC collection. A school may also offer several different biology courses including Introductory Biology, Anatomy, Botany, Genetics, Zoology, or Microbiology. For AP courses, the College Board publishes a list, available at www.collegeboard.com/student/testing/ap/about.html
- A class (or section) refers to a specific group of students taking a course during a specified time. There may be one or more classes for each course offered at a school. For example, a school may have two classes of Introductory Biology, one during second period and one during fourth period; and one class for Genetics, during fifth period. Therefore, the school should report a total of three Biology classes (2 for Biology plus 1 for Genetics).

International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme *^{New Guiding question!}

Only for schools with any grade 9-12, UG high school age students

The International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme, sponsored by the International Baccalaureate Organization, is designed as an academically challenging and balanced program of education with final examinations that prepares students, usually aged 16 to 19, for success at university and life beyond. The Programme is typically taught over two years. IB Diploma Programme students study six courses at higher level or standard level. Students must choose one subject from each of groups 1 to 5, thus ensuring breadth of experience in languages, social studies, the experimental sciences and mathematics. The sixth subject may be an arts subject chosen from group 6, or the student may choose another subject from groups 1 to 5. Additionally, IB Diploma Programme students must meet three core requirements: the extended essay, the theory of knowledge course, and a creativity/action/service experience.

Key Definitions

Full-time equivalent (FTE) is a unit that indicates the workload of an employed person in a way that makes workloads comparable across various contexts. FTE is used to measure a worker’s service in a place (e.g., school). FTE is the number of total hours the person is expected to work divided by the maximum number of compensable hours in a full-time schedule. An FTE of 1.00 means that the person is equivalent to a full-time worker; while an FTE of 0.50 signals that the worker is only half-time.

Expulsion under zero tolerance policies refers to an action taken by the local educational agency of removing a child from his/her regular school for the remainder of school year or longer because of zero-tolerance policies. A zero tolerance policy is a policy that results in mandatory expulsion of any student who commits one or more specified offenses (e.g., offenses involving guns, or other weapons, or violence, or similar factors, or combinations of these factors). A policy is considered “zero tolerance” even if there are some exceptions to the mandatory aspect of the expulsion, such as allowing the chief administering officer of a local educational agency to modify the expulsion on a case-by-case basis.

All schools and justice facilities, preschool-grade 12, UG

Firearm or explosive device refers to any weapon that is designed to (or may readily be converted to) expel a projectile by the action of an explosive. This includes guns, bombs, grenades, mines, rockets, missiles, pipe bombs, or similar devices designed to explode and capable of causing bodily harm or property damage.
An incident refers to a specific criminal act involving one or more victims and offenders. For example, if two students are robbed without a weapon, at the same time and place, this is classified as two robbery victimizations but only one robbery without a weapon incident.
Physical attack or fight refers to an actual and intentional touching or striking of another person against his/her will, or the intentional causing of bodily harm to an individual. Physical attack or fight does not include rape.
Rape refers to forced sexual intercourse (vaginal, anal, or oral penetration). This includes penetration from a foreign object. Both male and female students can be victims of rape. Rape is not defined as a physical attack or fight.
Robbery is taking or attempting to take anything of value that is owned by another person or organization, under confrontational circumstances by force or threat of force or violence and/or by putting the victim in fear. A key difference between robbery and theft/larceny is that robbery involves threat or battery.
Sexual battery is an incident that includes threatened rape, fondling, indecent liberties, child molestation, or sodomy. Both male and female students can be victims of sexual battery. Classification of these incidents should take into consideration the age and developmentally appropriate behavior of the offender(s).
A threat refers to an act where there was no physical contact between the offender and victim but the victim felt that physical harm could have occurred based on verbal or nonverbal communication by the offender. This includes nonverbal threats (e.g., brandishing a weapon), and verbal threats of physical harm which are made in person. Threats made over the telephone or threatening letters are excluded.
A threat of physical attack with a weapon includes displaying, brandishing, or discharging a weapon, but with no actual physical contact of any person. A threat is made in person. Threats made over the telephone or threatening letters are excluded. A threat of physical attack using words that refer to a weapon would not be considered a threat with a weapon.
A threat of physical attack without a weapon refers to a threat without any display, brandishment, or discharge of a weapon, and with no actual physical contact of any person. A threat is made in person. Threats made over the telephone or threatening letters are excluded. A threat of physical attack using words that refer to a weapon would be considered a threat without a weapon.
A weapon is any instrument or object used with the intent to threaten, injure, or kill. This includes look-alikes if they are used to threaten others.

Section X: Restraint and Seclusion

General Instructions

For the 2013–14 & 2015–16 CRDC—
- Unless otherwise noted, count should be cumulative based on the entire regular school year.

Key Definitions

Mechanical restraint refers to the use of any device or equipment to restrict a student’s freedom of movement. The term does not include devices implemented by trained school personnel, or utilized by a student that have been prescribed by an appropriate medical or related services professional and are used for the specific and approved purposes for which such devices were designed, such as:

Adaptive devices or mechanical supports used to achieve proper body position, balance, or alignment to allow greater freedom of mobility than would be possible without the use of such devices or mechanical supports;
Vehicle safety restraints when used as intended during the transport of a student in a moving vehicle;
Restraints for medical immobilization; or
Orthopedically prescribed devices that permit a student to participate in activities without risk of harm.

Physical restraint refers to a personal restriction that immobilizes or reduces the ability of a student to move his or her torso, arms, legs, or head freely. The term physical restraint does not include a physical escort. Physical escort means a temporary touching or holding of the hand, wrist, arm, shoulder or back for the purpose of inducing a student who is acting out to walk to a safe location.
Seclusion refers to the involuntary confinement of a student alone in a room or area from which the student is physically prevented from leaving. It does not include a timeout, which is a behavior management technique that is part of an approved program, involves the monitored separation of the student in a non-locked setting, and is implemented for the purpose of calming.

Section XI: Teacher Absenteeism

General Instructions

For the 2013–14 &2015–16 CRDC—
- Unless otherwise noted, count should be cumulative based on the entire regular school year.

Key Definitions

Full-time equivalent (FTE) is a unit that indicates the workload of an employed person in a way that makes workloads comparable across various contexts. FTE is used to measure a worker’s service in a place (e.g., school). FTE is the number of total hours the person is expected to work divided by the maximum number of compensable hours in a full-time schedule. An FTE of 1.00 means that the person is equivalent to a full-time worker, while an FTE of 0.50 signals that the worker is only half-time.
A teacher provides instruction, learning experiences, and care to students during a particular time period or in a given discipline.

Teachers include: Regular Classroom Teachers (teach Chemistry, English, mathematics, physical education, history, etc.); Special Education Teachers (teach special education classes to students with disabilities); General Elementary Teachers [teach self-contained classes in any of grades preschool–8 (i.e., teach the same class of students all or most of the day); team-teach (i.e., two or more teachers collaborate to teach multiple subjects to the same class of students); include preschool teachers and kindergarten teachers]; Vocational/Technical Education Teachers (teach typing, business, agriculture, life skills, home economics as well as any other vocational or technical classes); teaching principals, teaching school counselors, teaching librarians, teaching school nurses, or other teaching administrators [include any staff members who teach at least one regularly scheduled class per week (e.g., a librarian teaches a regularly scheduled class in mathematics once a week)]; teachers of ungraded students; Itinerant, Co-op, Traveling, and Satellite Teachers (teach at more than one school and may or may not be supervised by someone at your school); current Long-Term Substitute Teachers (currently filling the role of regular teachers for four or more continuous weeks); and other teachers who teach students in any of grades preschool–12.
Teachers exclude: Adult Education and Postsecondary Teachers (teach only adult education or students beyond grade 12); Short-term Substitute Teachers (fill the role of regular or special education teachers for less than four continuous weeks); Student Teachers; Day Care Aides/Paraprofessionals; Teacher Aides/Paraprofessionals; and Librarians who teach only library skills or how to use the library.

Section XIII: Items for Justice Facilities Only

General Instructions

For the 2013–14 & 2015–16 CRDC—
- Unless otherwise noted, report data based on the entire regular school year.

Key Definitions

A justice facility is a public or private facility that confines pre-adjudicated/pre-convicted individuals, post-adjudicated/pre-convicted individuals, or both. Justice facilities include short-term (90 calendar days or less) and long-term (more than 90 calendar days) facilities, such as correctional facilities, detention centers, jails, and prisons. These facilities may confine juveniles (individuals typically under 18 years of age), adults (individuals typically 18 years of age and older), or both. Some states and jurisdictions include individuals younger than age 18 as adults due to statute/legislation and/or justice procedures. For the purposes of the CRDC, only individuals up to 21 years of age who are confined in justice facilities are of interest.
A justice facility educational program is a program for children and youth (not beyond grade 12) served at a justice facility that consists of credit-granting courses and classroom instruction in at minimum, basic school subjects, such as reading, English language arts, and mathematics. Classroom instruction in vocationally-oriented subjects may also be considered part of the program. Neither the manufacture of goods within the facility nor activities related to facility maintenance are considered classroom instruction. Credit-granting refers to any course that results in a letter grade or a pass/fail designation and is required of a student to move to the next grade level or complete a program of study and receive a high school diploma.

Justice Facility Type^{New for 2013-14 & 2015-16!}

For justice facilities only

A pre-adjudication facility confines pre-adjudicated juveniles. A pre-adjudicated juvenile is an individual (typically under 18 years of age) who has been charged, but who has not participated in the court process that determines whether he/she has committed the crime. Adjudication is the court process that determines (judges) if the juvenile committed the act for which he/she is charged.
A pre-conviction facility confines pre-convicted adults. A pre-convicted adult is an individual (typically 18 years of age or older) who has been charged, but who has not participated in the court process that determines (judges) if he/she committed the act for which he/she is charged.
A post-adjudication facility confines post-adjudicated juveniles. A post-adjudicated juvenile is an individual (typically under 18 years of age) who has been charged and determined to have committed the crime. Adjudication is the court process that determines (judges) if the juvenile committed the act for which he/she is charged.

A post-conviction facility confines post-convicted adults. A post-convicted adult is an individual (typically 18 years of age or older) who has been charged and determined to have committed the crime.
