EDFacts Data Groups and Categories for the

Civil Rights Data Collection

For SYs 2010-11, 2011-12, and 2012-13

Introduction

This attachment contains the data collection plan for the Civil Rights Data Collection (CRDC). It also contains the data groups and categories that are used exclusively for the CRDC.

Plan for the Civil Rights Data Collection

ED collects data related to the following civil rights laws:

• Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964

• Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972

• Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973

ED has collected civil rights data biennially directly from LEAs since 1968; each included LEA submits a summary survey about the LEA as well as a survey about each school in the LEA. Generally, the collection has included a sample of LEAs (the SY 2009-10 collection included a sample of approximately 7000 schools); however, the 1976 collection included all LEAs and a sample of schools; and the 2000 collection included all LEAs and all schools. The CRDCs since 2004 were conducted primarily online. Flat file submissions and paper surveys were allowed. During those years, one SEA provided all the data on behalf of its LEAs and another SEA provided some data on behalf of its LEAs. All data from these alternate methods were merged with data collected online and the entire dataset was transferred into EDFacts.

ED proposes that for any CRDC surveys administered for SY 2010-11, SY 2011-12, and SY 2012-13, ED would:

• Continue electronic collection.

• Allow flat file submissions including those submitted by SEAs on behalf of their LEAs

• Allow paper submissions for LEAs with no Internet connectivity or limited Web access.

• Collect data in two phases:

  • Phase 1 - Fall enrollment and placement data to be collected in the spring of the school year.

  • Phase 2 - Cumulative results data to be collected in the following fall.

• Revised! Collect data from a sample of approximately 7,000 LEAs and all schools in those LEAs or a universe of all districts and all schools in those LEAs. The sample will include all LEAs with enrollment of 3,000 or more, about 300 other LEAs specified by the Department’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR), and about 3,000 LEAs statistically selected by random stratified sampling. This sample size and composition will ensure that OCR has data on a widely representative group of LEAs and adequate coverage for statistically reliable national and state projections.

• Utilize data submitted by states through ESS for selected additional data groups to supplement the CRDC dataset with no additional burden.

To reduce burden, the Department uses an interactive, user-friendly tool that takes into consideration responses provided by LEAs. For example, if a user indicates the school serves only elementary students, then questions about high schools will not be presented. To facilitate this approach guiding questions may precede data group tables. For example, the user will be asked if the school provided Advanced Placement (AP) courses. If the user answers “No,” then the series of tables about AP will be skipped; if the answer is “Yes,” then the tables about AP will be presented.

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 SEAs through ESS and also collected from LEAs through the CRDC to ensure internal consistency of the CRDC.

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

• 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.

The next data groups are about restraints and seclusion. Below are the definitions of restraints and seclusion.

Mechanical Restraint-	The use of any device or equipment to restrict a student’s freedom of movement.  The term does not include devices implemented by trained school personnel, or utilized by a student that have been prescribed by an appropriate medical or related services professional and are used for the specific and approved purposes for which such devices were designed, such as: Adaptive devices or mechanical supports used to achieve proper body position, balance, or alignment to allow greater freedom of mobility than would be possible without the use of such devices or mechanical supports; Vehicle safety restraints when used as intended during the transport of a student in a moving vehicle; Restraints for medical immobilization; or Orthopedically prescribed devices that permit a student to participate in activities without risk of harm.
Physical Restraint-	A personal restriction that immobilizes or reduces the ability of a student to move his or her torso, arms, legs, or head freely.  The term physical restraint does not include a physical escort.  Physical escort means a temporary touching or holding of the hand, wrist, arm, shoulder or back for the purpose of inducing a student who is acting out to walk to a safe location.
Seclusion-	Seclusion means a behavior control technique involving locked isolation. It does not include a time out, which is a behavior management technique that is part of an approved program and involves the separation of the student from the group in a non-locked setting.

Categories used exclusively in the CRDC

The categories are listed in this section alphabetically. This section does not include categories that are also used by data groups not in the CRDC. Categories that are also used in other data groups are in Attachment B-4. OCR is the steward for all the categories in this section.

The first categories are of academic subjects. Below are the definitions of the academic subjects:

Advanced mathematics-	Advanced mathematics includes the following: trigonometry, trigonometry/algebra, trigonometry/analytic geometry, trigonometry/math analysis, analytic geometry, math analysis, math analysis/analytic geometry, probability and statistics, and pre-calculus. Trigonometry courses prepare students for eventual work in calculus, and typically include the following topics: trigonometric and circular functions; their inverses and graphs; relations among the parts of a triangle; trigonometric identities and equations; solutions of right and oblique triangles; and complex numbers. Analytic geometry courses include the study of the nature and intersection of lines and planes in space. Math analysis courses include the study of polynomial, logarithmic, exponential, and rational functions and their graphs; vectors; set theory; Boolean algebra and symbolic logic; mathematical induction; matrix algebra; sequences and series; and limits and continuity. Probability and statistics courses introduce the study of likely events and the analysis, interpretation, and presentation of quantitative data. Pre-calculus courses combine the study of trigonometry, elementary functions, analytic geometry, and math analysis topics as preparation for calculus.
Algebra II-	Algebra II course topics typically include field properties and theorems; set theory; operations with rational and irrational expressions; factoring of rational expressions; in-depth study of linear equations and inequalities; quadratic equations; solving systems of linear and quadratic equations; graphing of constant, linear, and quadratic equations; properties of higher degree equations; and operations with rational and irrational exponents.
Biology-	Biology courses are designed to provide information regarding the fundamental concepts of life and life processes. These courses include (but are not restricted to) such topics as cell structure and function, general plant and animal physiology, genetics, and taxonomy.
Calculus-	Calculus courses include the study of derivatives, differentiation, integration, the definite and indefinite integral, and applications of calculus. Typically, students have previously attained knowledge of pre-calculus topics (some combination of trigonometry, elementary functions, analytic geometry, and math analysis).
Chemistry-	Chemistry courses involve studying the composition, properties, and reactions of substances. These courses typically explore such concepts as the behaviors of solids, liquids, and gases; acid/base and oxidation/reduction reactions; and atomic structure. Chemical formulas and equations and nuclear reactions are also studied.
Geometry-	Geometry is a course emphasizing an abstract, formal approach to the study of geometry, typically including topics such as properties of plane and solid figures; deductive methods of reasoning and use of logic; geometry as an axiomatic system including the study of postulates, theorems, and formal proofs; concepts of congruence, similarity, parallelism, perpendicularity, and proportion; and rules of angle measurement in triangles.
Physics-	Physics courses involve the study of the forces and laws of nature affecting matter, such as equilibrium, motion, momentum, and the relationships between matter and energy. The study of physics includes examination of sound, light, and magnetic and electric phenomena.

Expulsion without services also includes removals resulting from violations of the Gun Free Schools Act that are modified to less than 365 days.
In-school suspension-	Instances in which a child is temporarily removed from his or her regular classroom(s) for at least half a day but remains under the direct supervision of school personnel. Direct supervision means school personnel are physically in the same location as students under their supervision.
Out of school suspension-	For students with disabilities (IDEA): Out-of-school suspension is an instance in which a child is temporarily removed from his/her regular school for disciplinary purposes to another setting (e.g., home, behavior center). This includes both removals in which no IEP services are provided because the removal is 10 days or less as well as removals in which the child continues to receive services according to his/her IEP. For students without disabilities and students with disabilities served solely under Section 504: Out-of-school suspension means excluding a student from school for disciplinary reasons for one school day or longer. This does not include students who served their suspension in the school.
Referral to law enforcement-	Referral to law enforcement is an action by which a student is reported to any law enforcement agency or official, including a school police unit, for an incident that occurs on school grounds, during school-related events, or while taking school transportation, regardless of whether official action is taken.
School-related arrest-	A school-related arrest is an arrest of a student for any activity conducted on school grounds, during off-campus school activities (including while taking school transportation), or due to a referral by any school official.
Zero-tolerance policies-	A zero-tolerance policy is a policy that results in mandatory expulsion of any student who commits one or more specified offenses (for example, offenses involving guns, or other weapons, or violence, or similar factors, or combinations of these factors). A policy is considered “zero tolerance” even if there are some exceptions to the mandatory aspect of the expulsion, such as allowing the chief administering officer of an LEA to modify the expulsion on a case-by-case basis.

Below are additional instructions about reporting expenditures.

In general, LEAs should report school-level expenditures that are associated with regular K-12 instruction, instructional support, pupil support, and school administration. More specifically, LEAs should report the following four categories of school-level expenditures from state and local funds:

• Personnel salaries at the school level for all school-level instructional and support staff, based on the Census Bureau’s classification used in the F-33 survey of local government finances.

• Personnel salaries at the school level for instructional staff only.

• Personnel salaries at the school level for teachers only.

• Non-personnel expenditures at the school level (if available).

Table A-1 shows the Census Bureau’s classification of four types of school-level personnel that are involved in instructional and support functions, based on the F-33 survey of local government finances.

Table A-1

Instruction-	Includes teachers and instructional aides
Support services – pupils-	Includes guidance counselors, nurses, attendance officers, speech pathologists, and other staff who provide support services for students.
Support services – instructional staff-	Includes staff involved in curriculum development, staff training, operating the library, media and computer centers.
Support services – school administration-	Includes principals and other staff involved in school administration

LEAs should use the following guidelines, to the extent possible, in compiling school-level expenditures:

• Exclude expenditures from federal program funds. However, a district may include funds from Impact Aid or from the State Fiscal Stabilization Fund (SFSF) if the district is using those funds under the authority in Impact Aid.

• Exclude expenditures from special education funds.

• Exclude expenditures for programs that are not associated with regular K-12 instruction, instructional support, and school administration (e.g., preschool, adult education, and school nutrition programs).

• Exclude programs that serve students from more than one school attendance area at a single school site (e.g., summer school programs sometimes are housed in a subset of the district’s schools but serve students from throughout the school district).

• LEAs may also exclude expenditures made by regional education agencies for school-level resources, if data on the amount of these regional agencies provided in individual schools is not currently available.

Salary expenditures. LEAs should use the following guidelines, to the extent possible, in compiling school-level salary expenditures:

• Include all types of salary expenditures, including not only base salaries but also incentive pay, bonuses, and supplemental stipends for mentoring or other roles.

• Exclude expenditures for employee benefits. .

Non-personnel expenditures. LEAs should include non-personnel expenditures associated with instruction, instructional support, and pupil support, and school administration, if this information is available at the school level. This may include the following types of expenditures:

• Professional development for teachers and other staff.

• Instructional materials and supplies.

• Computers, software, and other technology.

• Contracted services such as distance learning services.

• Library books ad media center learning materials.
