AASA Submits Comments on New CRDC

Today AASA submitted comments on the new Civil Rights Data Collection request for 2019-20. In our comments we recognized that the Department has taken steps to reduce the number of items districts must report on by 22%, but that this is still a time and resource intensive process that must be greatly diminished in future collections. We also commented on the new data points that the Department is planning to add to the collection related to bullying and sexual assault. Our comments are available here.
