Coding for the CRDC Report
• This report is sometimes referred to as the OCR Report
– OCR Stands for Office of Civil Rights
– CRDC stands for Civil Rights Data Collection
• The CRDC is an annual report requested by the Federal
Department of Education
• An announcement has not been made has to who will be
required to report. For the 2009-2010 report:
– Districts with > 3,000 FTE were required to report
– Other districts were chosen at random
• Reporting is in 2 parts. The next report will be for the 20102011 school year.
– Part 1 will be due in June and should be completed before processing year
end for the 2010-2011 school year.
– Part 2 will be due in December.
Coding for the CRDC Report
• Best Practice is to enter data into Skyward in anticipation of
being chosen to report.
– It is cumbersome to go back and enter information from the prior School
year if your district happens to be chosen.
• Requirements may change slightly from year to year, but if you
enter what has been required in the past you will be as
prepared as you possibly can be if your district is chosen to
report.
• Remember, entering the information into Skyward in a timely
manner, can save your district countless hours of data
gathering when it comes time to report.
Coding for the CRDC Report
Considerations for Part 1
Course Associations:
– Secondary Schools should assign subject codes to all Math and Science
courses. You will report on students who were enrolled in any of the
following courses:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Algebra I
Geometry
Algebra II
Advanced Mathematics
Calculus
Biology
Chemistry
Physics
– High Schools should assign subject codes to all Advanced Placements
courses. You will report on students who were enrolled in Advanced
Placement Courses as follows:
•
•
•
•
Mathematics
Science
Foreign Language
Other AP Subjects
Coding for the CRDC Report
Considerations for Part 1
Advanced Placement Tests. -- Each AP course should be associated with it’s
corresponding AP test
– You will need to build the AP tests in Skyward.
– See the Test Score Documents in the Student Training Materials Library:
• Add a New Test Name
• Setup for Hand Entry or
• Setup for Import
Once testing is complete and results have been provided to your district,
either hand enter or import the test scores.
Coding for the CRDC Report
Considerations for Part 1
Students with Disabilities
– Each Special Education Student must be coded with a valid disability code
(this is also a CEDARS requirement). In all cases districts should already
be tracking this information. (Students with disabilities that are not in
special education will need to be counted by hand.)
Section 504
– There should be a record on the NCLB-2 screen for each student who has a
section 504 plan in place for the reporting year.
Prekindergarten
– Students with a graduation year that is less than the graduation year for
the selected school year’s kindergarten class are counted as
prekindergarten.
Gifted and Talented
– Students who are in a gifted and talented program must have the Gifted
and Talented field set to ‘Yes’ on the WA/NCLB. For CEDARS the student
must be in a gifted and talented program for the reporting year.

Needing LEP
– If a student has a Current LEP record on the NCLB-2 tab (no end date
entered), they will be counted as needing LEP.
Enrolled in LEP
– If a student has a Current LEP record on the NCLB-2 tab (no end date
entered), and the has the Receiving Services box checked, they will be
counted as enrolled in LEP.

Considerations for Part 2
Discipline Actions
Corporal Punishment:
– If your district uses corporal punishment as a discipline action, set up the appropriate
action code.
Suspensions and Expulsion Action Codes:
– Actions for students who will continue to receive educational services.
– Actions for students who will not continue to receive educational services.
– Actions for zero tolerance policies.
– Actions for referral to law enforcement.
– Actions for school related arrests.
Suspension types should assigned to the suspension and expulsion action codes.
– None (Not included in CRDC Reporting)
– In School
– Out of School
– Expulsion
– IEAS (Interim Alternative Educational Setting)
– Parental Conference (Not included in CRDC reporting)
Coding for the CRDC Report
Considerations for Part 2
Restraint and Seclusion Action Codes:
– Action for Mechanical Restraint.
– Action for Physical Restraint.
– Action for Seclusion.
Discipline Offenses
Bullying Offense Codes:
– Offense for bullying based on race.
– Offense for bullying based on gender.
– Offense for bullying based on disability.
Coding for the CRDC and Other
State Reports
There are now 3 state reports and 2 federal reports that use the Skyward Discipline Data.
They are:
1.Weapons Report
2.Student Behavior Report
3.Attendance Truancy Report
4.Federal Suspension and Expulsion Report
5.CRDC
Certain discipline offense and action codes are used by more than one of the reports. If
you create and use the codes at the lowest level of detail required, data for all of these
reports will be in the system when the report is due.
For example: The Student Behavior Report includes bullying. The CRDC breaks bullying
down into; by race, by gender, and by disability. You can cross reference all of the
bullying codes to the bullying column on the Student Behavior Report. On the CRDC
choose the correct bullying code for each of the categories.
Coding for the CRDC and Other
State Reports
There is a spreadsheet in the Student Records
Training Materials Library under Discipline. It is
called Fed and State Offense and Action Codes
This cross references all of the codes required for
the 5 reports.
If additional codes are added we will update the
spreadsheet.

Import Processing Changes
An e-mail was sent out December 20, 2010 that described the following:
When a district imports a Direct Certification file into Food Service, all students in the file have
their Lunch Code updated to Free with a Reason Code = 02 (Direct Certification). Previously, the
import process also included logic that would update the Lunch Code of any student residing at
the same physical address as a student in the file. However, students not in the file may not
actually belong to the same Economic Unit as the student in the file, as described by USDA. In
these cases, the Lunch Code had to be manually changed back to the previous value by the
district.
• The Direct Certification Import Process no longer updates the Lunch Code of students not in
the Direct Certification file.
• A new report is available to indicate students who live at the same address as a student in the
Direct Certification file who do not have a current Lunch Code of Free and an Application
Number of Electronic. This report can be used to determine whether any of the students on
the report need to have their Lunch Code modified because they belong in the same
Economic Unit. SM/FS/PM/MP/Report/AV
• Additionally, there is a report that you can request for us to have run that will show whether
you have any students marked as Free by the Direct Certification process, who are not in you
most current Direct Certification file from the state. If you are interested in having this report
run, please contact us via e-mail at stucoord@esd101.net. The subject of the e-mail should be
‘Request for Direct Cert Report’.

Math End of Course Exams
(re-visited)
Students who graduate in 2013 or later will be required to pass an End of Course Exam.
State Course Codes for End of Course Math Exams:
• State Course Code 02052 Algebra,
• State Course Code 02053 Algebra Part I
• State Course Code 02054 Algebra Part 2
• State Course Code 02061 Integrated Math First Year
• State Course Code 02062 Integrated Math Second Year
• State Course Code 02071 Informal Geometry
• State Course Code 02072 Formal Geometry
If current students in grades 8 – 10 already took these math courses, they will receive test
booklets for all of the previous courses taken. 2011 will be considered a ‘catch-up year’ for
these students.
Going forward, if your district offers these courses in 7th or 8th grade, students will be required
to take the test at the end of 7th or 8th grade.
In order for your students to receive the appropriate test booklets, this information must be
coded correctly in Skyward
CEDARS Updates
State Course Code and Content Area for Elementary Schedules
In the past you were advised to code all elementary courses as follows:
In anticipation of the Highly Qualified Teacher Tool that will be up and running for
the 2012 school year, new considerations must be made.
Courses taught by a specialty teacher, such as PE, Art or Music must have the
appropriate Content Area Code. If the Content Area Code = 1 the teacher must be
highly qualified for elementary education. Specialty teachers at the elementary
level do not have to be highly qualified.
This applies to both Standards and Secondary Gradebooks used at the elementary
level.
CEDARS Updates
Disability Codes for Non-Special Education Students
• Currently only special education students with disabilities are being
reported with a Disability Code (B16).
• In the latest SIMON, OSPI clarified that this field is to be reported for all
students with disabilities whether or not they are receiving special
education services.
• The CEDARS extract program will be changed to look at both special
education, and section 504 data to determine if a student has a
disability. If a student has a disability, but is not receiving special
education services, and does not have a section 504 plan, a disability
will not be reported.
• This change has not been implemented yet. Could you please send us
an e-mail at stucoord@esd101.net with approximately how many
students (if any) you have, with confirmed disabilities that at are not in
special ed and do not have a section 504 plan?
CEDARS Updates
Immigrant Students (NOT MIGRANT) – Data must be accurate by
April 1, 2011
Immigrant program data needs to be submitted regardless of
funding.
WA-NCLB Tab:
• Code number of Months of US Attendance
• Code with a T3I in student programs even if you are not
receiving Title 3 funding
The Number of Months of US Attendance is only reported to
CEDARS for LEP students. You will need to update this field for
immigrant students who are not in an LEP program using a tool
OSPI will be providing (not yet available).
CEDARS Updates
CEDARS Updates
AVID
• State Course Code for AVID is 23000
• AVID means Advanced Via Individual Determination
• 23000 has been causing a CEDARS error. This
problem has been resolved by OSPI
CEDARS Changes
Changes coming for Homeless Reporting
(Starting in the Fall of 2011)
Report Homeless as follows:
• Sharing housing with others due to economic hardship
• Nighttime residence is public or private place not normally used for
human sleeping accommodations
• Living in cars, parks, public spaces, abandoned buildings,
substandard housing, bus or train stations

P223 Changes
New Entity Exception Report for Percent Enrolled = 0
Students with Percent Enrolled = 0 are currently listed on the Entity Warning Report for FTE. However, such
students are not included in the grade level headcount and FTE on the Monthly Enrollment Report and thus
are more appropriately listed on an exception report rather than on a warning report.
There are two versions of the new report:
• FTE Computed from Schedules = No
• FTE Computed from Schedules = Yes
P223 Changes
Revision to the District Exceptions Report for FTE
A “Flag” column has been added to identify Vocational and Skills Center classes.

Revisions to the Entity Warnings Report FTE
Students with Percent Enrolled = 0 are no longer listed on the report.
When FTE Computed from Schedules = Yes a “Flag” column has been added to identify Vocational and Skills Center
classes.
