CRDC common data collection implementation for 2020-2021

The Common Data Entry updates for the 2020-2021 Civil Rights Data Collection (CRDC) are now available.

  • The Schools/School Info CRDC page is updated to include:
      • Data entry for aggregate sexual assault or rape offenses involving staff members. This is optional for the 2020-2021 collection.
      • Data entry for aggregate staff and security staff FTE counts.
    • The Courses and Sections CRDC pages are updated to no longer allow the selection of the AP category “OT – Other”.
    • Data elements that are no longer collected for the 2020-21 submission are moved to deprecated field sections at the bottom of the respective CRDC pages.

    A new CodeSet Mapping for Relation is added to the Code Set Mappings page. PowerSchool Relationship Code Sets (used for Unlimited Contacts) can be mapped to State/Ed-Fi values.
    The Student Contact Resource first uses any mapped Relation found. If a mapping is not completed, the relation is compared to the State/Ed-Fi value to find the correct match. If no matches are found, the relation, "Other" is used when publishing.
    Note: When the PowerSchool relation is "Stepmother" or "Stepfather" and no mapping is found, these values are converted to "Mother, Step" and "Father, Step" to match the state/Ed-Fi values).
