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.

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.

Include students enrolled in grades K-12, and comparable ungraded levels. In classifying the students reported as harassed or bullied, look to the likely motives of the alleged harasser/bully, and not the actual status of the alleged victim.


A student reported as harassed or bullied on the basis of multiple civil rights categories should be counted in each applicable civil rights category. For example, a student reported as harassed or bullied on the basis of both sex and disability should be reported in both the sex count and the disability count.


Within each civil rights category, the count should be unduplicated. Category sets B, C, and D do not include all students.

The International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme – The 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.

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.

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.


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.

Include teachers for preschool, grades K-12, and comparable ungraded levels, regardless of how teachers were funded (i.e., federal, state, and/or local funds). Experience includes teaching in any school, subject, or grade; it does not have to be in the school, subject, or grade that the teacher is presently teaching. Justice facilities should include only teachers who serve students in the educational program offered at the justice facility during the regular school year.


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.
