Participants will learn how to use the ASCENDER OCR application to create files for the CRDC. The Civil Rights Data Collection (CRDC) is a biennial (i.e., every other school year) survey that has been required by the U.S. Department of Education's (Department) Office for Civil Rights (OCR) since 1968. The 2023-2024 CRDC will collect data from a universe of all public local educational agencies (LEA) and schools, including juvenile justice facilities, charter schools, alternative schools, and schools serving students with disabilities. The data collection is due on March 7, 2025.
