The CRDC gathers information about student access to educational programs, activities, and staff, and school climate factors, such as student discipline and harassment or bullying incidents, from public schools serving students in preschool through 12th grade. For the 2021-22 school year, the CRDC includes data from more than 17,000 school districts and 97,000 schools nationwide. For more information about the CRDC or to download the full CRDC public-use data file, please visit  [https://civilrightsdata.ed.gov](https://civilrightsdata.ed.gov).  \nData Quality Matters  \nData quality generally refers to the trustworthiness of the data and includes the consideration of timeliness, accuracy, relevance, completeness, and consistency. OCR, ED, other federal agencies, state educational agencies, school districts, and many other organizations use the CRDC to inform decisions that will ensure students have equal access to educational programs or activities.  \nSteps OCR Takes to Ensure Good Data Quality  \nOCR relies on school districts and other data submitters to ensure that correct data are submitted on time 1 To support school districts’ timely submission of accurate data, OCR takes steps before, during, and after the submission process to support the collection of quality data. Specifically, OCR engages in the following activities:  \nBefore the Collection Starts  \n1. Prior to creating new CRDC survey forms, OCR gathers feedback from members of the public through listening sessions and information collection requests.  \n2. OCR prepares training materials and other resources and makes survey forms and technical assistance documents available on the CRDC Resource Center website ( [https://crdc.communities.ed.gov](https://crdc.communities.ed.gov)) for school districts and other data submitters to prepare for the upcoming collection.  \n3. OCR communicates timelines, due dates, submission requirements, and additional important information to data submitters.  \nDuring the Data Collection  \n1. Data submitters self-report, and must certify all data as correct.  \n2. OCR implements real-time data quality checks in the submission system that help data submitters to correct potential errors. For more information about real-time data quality checks, please see the 2021-22 CRDC business rule inventory document on the CRDC Resource Center website.  \n3. The CRDC Partner Support Center (PSC) provides support to school districts in multiple ways, including:  \n• One-on-one Help Desk support via email and/or phone.  \n• Accessible resources such as technical assistance documents and training videos.  \n• For the 2021-22 CRDC, the PSC engaged in the following activities with data  \n4. OCR monitors data submissions to ensure all school districts submit data before the deadline and evaluates data for errors and quality.  \n5. When a school district or school is unable to provide CRDC data, OCR requires corrective action for future compliance that can include the development of an action plan to ensure that accurate and complete data are submitted for the next collection cycle or enforcement.  \nAfter the Collection  \n1. OCR conducts analyses on submitted data and reaches out to select school districts to correct potentially erroneous data.  \n2. OCR applies privacy protections on data in the CRDC public-use data file to prevent the identification of students.  \nData quality continues to evolve and improve with each CRDC in an ongoing process to ensure the best data are available to the public.","cbCair3dvzWCEKmx","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCair3dvzWCEKmx","pdf",761622,"English","# About the Civil Rights Data Collection\n# Data Quality Matters\n# Steps OCR Takes to Ensure Good Data Quality\n## Before the Collection Starts\n## During the Data Collection\n## After the Collection\n# Data Quality Suppressions and Public-Use Releases\n# Access to Restricted-Use Data and Language Services","[{\"question\":\"What is the CRDC and who administers it?\",\"answer\":\"The CRDC is a mandatory survey of public schools and school districts administered by the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR).\"},{\"question\":\"What does “data quality” mean in this CRDC context?\",\"answer\":\"Data quality refers to the trustworthiness of data, considering timeliness, accuracy, relevance, completeness, and consistency.\"},{\"question\":\"How does OCR help ensure correct data during the submission process?\",\"answer\":\"OCR prepares resources and training before collection, uses real-time data quality checks during submission, provides partner support, monitors submissions, and requires corrective action when districts cannot provide required data.\"}]","Civil Rights Data Quality from Start to Finish - Data Quality Matters | PDF",1792056818]
