Long Description : The CRDC collects data on leading civil rights indicators related to access and barriers to educational opportunity at the early childhood through grade12 levels.The CRDC is also a longstanding and critical aspect of the overall enforcement and monitoring strategy used by OCR to ensure that recipients of the Department's Federal financial assistance do not discriminate on the basis of race,color, national origin, sex, and disability. OCR relies on CRDC datait receives from public school districts as it investigates complaints alleging discrimination,determines whether theFederalcivilrights laws it enforces have been violated, initiates proactive compliance reviews to focus on particularly acute or nation wide civil rights compliance problems, and provides policy guidance and technical assistance to educational institutions, parents,students, and others.
