Who is not required to participate in the CRDC?

Tribal schools operated by the Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Indian Education and schools operated by the Department of Defense Education Activity are not required to collect and submit data to the CRDC, at this time.  School districts in U.S. territories are also not required to collect and submit data for the CRDC at this time.  The only exception is Puerto Rico, which is treated as a state under the Every Student Succeeds Act of 2015.  Puerto Rico, for the first time, participated in the 2017-18 CRDC.

Who must participate in the CRDC?

The CRDC collects data from a universe of nearly all public local educational agencies (LEA) and schools that receive federal financial assistance from ED, including justice facilities, charter schools, and alternative schools.  In addition, state operated programs that receive federal funding assistance from ED have a legal obligation to provide the data that are being collected by the CRDC. In some states, the state educational agency (SEA) provides CRDC data for its LEAs.

School districts in the U.S. territories, except, Puerto Rico, are also not required to collect and submit data for the CRDC at this time.  Every Student Succeeds Act of 2015 added Puerto Rico, which first participated in the 2017-18 CRDC.

When does my LEA submit data for the 2023-24 CRDC?

The next CRDC collection will be for the 2023-24 school year and is tentatively scheduled to open on December 9, 2024, and close on March 7, 2025.
