Data Groups for

Civil Rights Data Collection

for School Year 2017–18

Revised after 60-day public comment period.

Introduction

This attachment contains the details of sets of related data entries known as data groups (DG) that are used for the Civil Rights Data Collection (CRDC) collected from state educational agencies (SEA), local educational agencies (LEA), and schools.

To fully understand the data groups presented in this attachment, the reader should use Attachments A-1 and A-3 as references. Attachment A-1 explains how to read the table of information on each data group. Attachment A-3 contains the definitions and permitted values of the categories in the category sets.

In this attachment, data groups are listed in alphabetical order by data group name. For readability, the tables that describe data groups are not divided between pages, if possible. This results in some pages having significant blank space.

Changes made as a result of comments received during the 60-day public comment period are noted with a “†”. Additional changes (including technical edits and revisions) that were made for clarity, accuracy, and consistency are noted with a “‡”.

Data Groups That Are Part of the CRDC

Data groups that will be considered part of the CRDC fall into the following sets.

• Set A: Data groups submitted by LEAs through the CRDC, and also collected from SEAs through the EDFacts Submission System (ESS) to ensure internal consistency of the CRDC.

• Set B: Data groups submitted by LEAs and schools for the CRDC.

• Set C: Data groups submitted by SEAs through ESS and merged into the CRDC dataset to provide more complete and robust data for civil rights purposes, with no additional burden on SEAs or LEAs.

Set A Data Groups—Collected through both CRDC and ESS

The data groups, as collected through the CRDC, are explained in this attachment.

The data groups, as collected through the ESS, are explained in Attachments B-2 and B-3 of the EDFacts school years 2017–18 and 2018–19 information collection package titled, “Annual Mandatory Collection of Elementary and Secondary Education Data through EDFacts.” The EDFacts information collection package (OMB control number: 1850-0925 v.2) is available at https://www.regulations.gov/document?D=ED-2016-ICCD-0092-0001.

Comment	The permitted value with an asterisk (*) is not used for the CRDC. 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.

Algebra I is a foundation course leading to higher-level mathematics courses, including Geometry and Algebra II. Teachers are considered certified in mathematics if they have received a teaching certificate/license/endorsement in mathematics or computer science (general or subject-specific) from the state. Teachers may be funded with federal, state, and/or local funds. Justice facilities should consider only teachers who serve students in the educational program offered at the justice facility during the regular school year. Refer to the following guide to determine which teachers may be included and which teachers should be excluded. Teachers certified in mathematics may include: Regular Classroom Teachers Special Education Teachers Teach special education classes to students with disabilities. General Elementary Teachers Teach self-contained classes in any of grades 7–8 (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). Vocational/Technical Education Teachers 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. Other teachers who teach students in any of grades 7–8 Teachers to exclude: Adult Education and Postsecondary Teachers Teach only adult education or students beyond grade 12.

Comment	Report only for justice facilities. Report the number of days per year that the regular credit-granting educational program operates. A justice facility is a public or private facility that confines pre-adjudicated/pre-convicted individuals, post-adjudicated/post-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. Educational program – An educational 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. A regular educational program usually begins in the late summer or early fall and ends in late spring or early summer. On average, a regular educational program operates for 180 days. A year-round educational program usually operates for a 12-month period.

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. School counselor – A professional staff member assigned specific duties and school time for any of the following activities: counseling with students and parents, consulting with other staff members on learning problems, evaluating student abilities, assisting students in making education and career choices, assisting students in personal and social development, providing referral assistance, and/or working with other staff members in planning and conducting guidance programs for students.

Full-time equivalent (FTE) – 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.

Full-time equivalent (FTE) – 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.
