Civil Rights Data Collection (CRDC) consists of district-wide school data counts and district counts. There are over 100 data categories with disaggregate group elements for each tracked in Focus. Focus generates the actual compliant file for upload, but supports a “Student Listing (Verification)” option combined with a “Use Field Titles” option to audit the counts found in the CRDC file.
1. From the Missouri Reports menu, click Civil Rights Data Collection.
A warning will display at the top of the screen when the "NCES District ID (CRDC)" (alias nces_lea_id) field is empty in Setup > District Info and when the "NCES School ID (CRDC)" (alias nces_school_id) field is empty in Setup > School Info. These fields must be populated in order to use the report.
