Data Groups for

Civil Rights Data Collection

for School Years 2013–14 and 2015–16

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 Attachment B-3 of the EDFacts school years 2013–14, 2014–15, and 2015–16 information collection package titled, “Annual Mandatory Collection for Elementary and Secondary Education for EDFacts.” The OMB approved EDFacts information collection package (OMB control number: 1875-0240) is available at

Comment	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.

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.

(This may include magnet programs operated within public schools when these programs must be reported separate from the schools and postsecondary institutions that are the school of record for students in any grade PK-13 or ungraded classes. Exclude postsecondary institutions that offer programs for students enrolled in elementary or secondary schools, for example, community colleges that provide a limited number of dual enrollment courses for students enrolled in a public high school.)

Advanced Placement (AP) exam qualifying score – A score of 3 or higher on an AP examination is considered a qualifying score. Students who earn AP exam scores of 3, 4, or 5 are generally considered to be qualified to receive college credit and/or placement into advanced courses due to the fact that their AP exam scores are equivalent to a college course score of "middle C" or above. However, the awarding of credit and placement is determined by each college or university.

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/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. 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.

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.
