The collection, use and reporting of education data is an integral component of the mission of the U.S. Department of Education (ED). EDFacts, an ED initiative to put performance data at the center of ED's policy, management, and budget decision-making processes for all K-12 education programs, has transformed the way in which ED collects and uses data. For school years 2009–10 and 2011–12, the Civil Rights Data Collection (CRDC) was approved by OMB as part of the EDFacts information collection (1875-0240). For school years 2013–14 and 2015–16, the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) cleared the CRDC as a separate collection from EDFacts. OCR used the most current EDFacts information collection approved by OMB (1875-0240) as a model for the 2013–14 and 2015–16 CRDC information collections that were approved by OMB (1870-0504). Similarly, the currently proposed revised CRDC information collection for school year 2017–18 is modeled after the most recent OMB-approved EDFacts information collection (1850-0925). For the 2017–18 CRDC, OCR is proposing few changes, and those changes will have the net effect of reducing burden on school districts. As with previous CRDC collections, the purpose of the 2017–18 CRDC is to obtain vital data related to the civil rights laws’ requirement that public local educational agencies and elementary and secondary schools provide equal educational opportunity. ED has analyzed the uses of many data elements collected in the 2013–14 CRDC and sought advice from experts across ED to refine, improve, and where appropriate, add or remove data elements from the collection. ED also made the CRDC data definitions and metrics consistent with other mandatory collections across ED wherever possible. ED seeks OMB approval under the Paperwork Reduction Act to collect from LEAs, the elementary and secondary education data described in the sections of Attachment A. In addition, ED requests that LEAs and other stakeholders respond to the directed questions found in Attachment A–5.

The content for the 2017–18 CRDC data collection decreased by approximately 2 percent compared to the 2015–16 CRDC data collection. The net amount of the changes from the 2015–16 to the 2017–18 data collection resulted in a burden decrease from 4.2 burden hours to 3.7 burden hours for school districts, and from 14.2 burden hours to 14.1 burden hours for schools. The 2017–18 CRDC survey content revisions are a result of program change due to agency discretion. Approximately 17,621 LEAs will respond for themselves and their 103,307 schools to the request for data. This results in a total burden estimate of 1,521,827 hours for SY 2017–18. The total burden hours estimate increased by 1,567 hours for SY 2017–18, due to the addition of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico school district and its schools to the CRDC universe.
