The Civil Rights Data Collection (CRDC) gathers data on key education and civil rights issues in our nation's public schools, tracking performance toward the provision of equal educational opportunity. In the fall of 2012, the U.S. Department of Education will be including all schools and school districts in the nation in the CRDC.

While all data for the CRDC must be submitted by Kansas school districts directly to the U.S. Department of Education, the Kansas State Department of Education is committed to assisting schools and school districts in this process as much as is possible. This website will serve as a central point for information on the CRDC for Kansas educators. As information becomes available, it will be provided here, so come back often to check for updates.

2011-2012 Kansas CRDC File Spec

This Excel document created by KSDE outlines the data elements required in the CRDC and indicates whether KSDE has the required data available. Using this document, Kansas school districts can determine what additional information they’ll need to be collecting in the current school year in order to complete the CRDC next fall. The Excel document can be easily sorted based on whether KSDE maintains the indicated data. Where KSDE has collected data required on the CRDC, we will work to provide school districts with aggregate data for use in their CRDC reporting.
