data
Mandatory Federal Data Collections
• EDFacts: largest federal education data collection
– 222 data groups

Common Core of Data (CCD) Consolidated State
Performance Report (CSPR), Gun Free Schools Report

– Biennial collection cycle
Mandatory Federal Collection, cont.

EDFacts & CCD
EDFacts generates Federal (NCES) School IDs,
which is done instantaneously now.
All CCD data are populated with EDFacts data
EDFacts, continued
• EDFacts data are edited on submission and edited by CCD on
the back-end in written correspondences:
– Year-to-year comparisons of membership (by grade &
race), graduates, dropouts, etc.
– Significant changes must be explained & sometimes
requires communicating with districts
• Important school directory edit rules:
– Each school (active, future, etc.) must have a unique
physical address & name
– A school can be reported as Future for a maximum of two
years
CRDC
• 71 data groups; all data disaggregated by CR
categories: race, sex, disability, LEP.
• 9 EDFacts data groups populate 0910 CRDC,
e.g., Student Membership
– IDEA students by Environment, Age
– Graduates
CRDC, continued
• New CRDC data groups added to 1112
database:
– Students reported to have been Bullied or
Harassed (Federal/State Indicator format)
– Restraint or Seclusion (Student Discipline format)
– School-Related Arrest (Federal/State Indicator

• SFSF contacts: Kathy Hebda
CSPR
• CSPR = NCLB data, Title I – VI.
• 183 Sections/Questions; 83 populated with
EDFacts data.
• Accurate data requires close coordination with
FLDOE NCLB & EIAS Bureaus
Gun Free Schools Report (GFSR)

• GFSR data:
