CRDC Data Set for School Years 2025‒26 and 2027‒28
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.
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 A and B of the
EDFacts school years 2022–23, 2023–24, and 2024–25 (with 2021–22 continuation)
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) is available at https://www.regulations.gov/docket/ED2021-SCC-0159.

Report only for justice facilities. Report the number of days per

A justice facility is a public or private facility that confines preadjudicated/pre-convicted individuals, post-adjudicated/postconvicted 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 vocationallyoriented 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

regular educational program operates for 180 days. A year-round
educational program usually operates for a 12-month period.

Report only for justice facilities.
A justice facility is a public or private facility that confines preadjudicated/pre-convicted individuals, post-adjudicated/postconvicted 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 vocationallyoriented 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

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.

the CRDC, only individuals up to 21 years of age who are confined

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 preconvicted 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.

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.

For students with disabilities served under IDEA: Out-of-school
suspension is an instance in which a child is temporarily removed

Include teachers for preschool, grades K-12, and comparable

federal, state, and/or local funds).
A teacher has met all applicable state teacher certification
requirements for a standard certificate if the teacher has a
regular/standard certificate/license/endorsement issued by the state.
A beginning teacher who has met the standard teacher education
requirements is considered to have met state requirements even if
he or she has not completed a state-required probationary period.
A teacher working towards certification by way of alternative
routes, or a teacher with an emergency, temporary, or provisional
credential is not considered to have met state requirements. State
requirements are determined by the state.
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.
For the purposes of reporting teacher certification, refer to the
following teachers definition and guide to determine which
teachers should be included and excluded:
Teachers provide instruction, learning experiences, and care to
students during a particular time period or in a given discipline.
