Civil Rights Data Collection

The Civil Rights Data Collection (CRDC) is a program in the United States that gathers data from public schools to monitor civil rights compliance. Initiated by the U.S. Department of Education, it collects information on various aspects such as student demographics, educational opportunities, and disciplinary actions. The goal is to identify and address disparities in education, ensuring all students receive equal treatment and opportunities regardless of their race, gender, or disability. The data helps inform policies and practices to promote equity in schools nationwide.
