Contained in this packet are a series of data summaries from your State, or districts within each State, across a series of data collections. These data summaries include data from the following collections:
CRDC Data Collection
Civil Rights Data Collection
The CRDC collects data on key education and civil rights issues in our nation's public schools for use by the U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights (OCR), other Department of Education offices, and other policymakers and researchers. This data collection provides information about students in public elementary and secondary schools on a variety of indicators, including enrollment, access to educational programs or services, and academic proficiency results, "disaggregated" or broken out, by factors including race, ethnicity, sex, and disability. Data included in this packet highlight measures related to discipline and arrests.
OJJDP Data Collection
Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention
OJJDP collects a variety of data focused on both juvenile crime and victimization and youth involved in the juvenile justice system. The National Center for Juvenile Justice (NCJJ) has developed a Statistical Briefing Book which enables users to access online information via OJJDP's Web site to provide timely and reliable statistical information. The profiles in this packet provide a quick snapshot of State and national juvenile populations, juvenile victims, arrests and youth in corrections as well as national profile maps.
OSEP Data Collection
Office of Special Education Programs
The OSEP data is maintained by the Data Accountability Center (DAC). Federal data are collected annually in relation to the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), Parts B and C, by State. Areas in which data are collected include educational environments, discipline, student assessment, dispute resolution, and students exiting programs. These data are collected by disability category, race/ethnicity, gender, and LEP status at the State education agency, local education agency, and school level. The profiles in this packet are aggregate national-level data, so every State team has the same dataset.
Title I, Part D, Data Collection
Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (OESE)
The National Evaluation and Technical Assistance Center for the Education of Children and Youth who are Neglected, Delinquent, or At-Risk (NDTAC) prepares State Fast-Facts Pages for the U.S. Department of Education and grantees of the Title I, Part D, Subpart 1, State Agency Programs. Fifty States, along with Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia, receive funds under Subpart 1. The longitudinal data provided on these pages highlights grantees’ funding, student demographics, and key academic outcomes for children and youth who are neglected or delinquent and enrolled in these programs. The four key academic outcomes featured also are used to track Title I, Part D, program performance and are of particular importance to grantees and the U.S. Department of Education.
YRBS Data Collection
The Youth Risk Behavior Survey
The Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) is administered through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Results from the survey provide data on health-risk behaviors among 9th–12th grade students in the United States, including behaviors that contribute to injuries and violence; alcohol or other drug use; tobacco use; sexual risk behaviors; unhealthy dietary behaviors; and physical inactivity. YRBS also measures the prevalence of obesity and asthma among youth and young adults. The profiles in this packet present the trends in the prevalence of behaviors that contribute to violence on school property as well as national profile maps for the most current year available.
State Team Discussions
Three State Team Discussions were built into the Summit agenda so that state teams could independently discuss their state-specific "Priorities," "Synthesize the Information" that was being presented at the Summit, and begin to identify steps to "Move Forward" with their agenda to address the school-justice connection. The State Team Discussion Report is a summary of those discussions. Each state team had a volunteer law student from the New York City metropolitan area law schools taking notes.
