The Civil Rights Data Collection (CRDC) is a biennial survey of a sample of school districts conducted by the Federal Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights.

Directory - Student Submissions Team is responsible for entering district directory changes into a CDE maintained database by June 30th of each year. This directory includes all cabinet and Board members, all schools, and the name and contact information for all school leaders.

End of Year  - (EOY) The primary purposes of the End of Year submission are to track student cohorts for calculation of graduation and completion rates, track mobility for calculation of mobility rates, determine the annual Beginning and End Counts for each school/grade/race/gender group, to identify dropouts or unreported students, and to conduct cross-district research post-collection to re-enroll dropouts. 

Legislative Hour Requirements - Pursuant to state statute and board rules, the local board of education shall provide for the adoption of a district calendar (and individual school calendars, where appropriate) that meet minimum requirements for each school within the district. Each school is required to be in session for a minimum of 160 days ("student contact days"), and scheduled a minimum number of hours of planned teacher‐ pupil instruction and teacher‐pupil contact during the school year ("instructional hours").

October Count is the official student membership headcount for all Colorado public school districts. When students are enrolled, scheduled and in attendance as of the official count day, the district receives an average of $8,400 in per pupil operating revenue. This submission accounts for 85% of the district’s funding.
