State reporting compliance is typically reported annually, whereas federal reporting compliance is often due every other year. The accuracy of reported information for compliance has much to do with how up to date schools are with entering data for students, employees, and finance. If information for compliance can't be obtained from data systems, DGA will contact schools or state offices to coordinate data collection.
CIVIL RIGHTS DATA COLLECTION (CRDC)
The Civil Rights Data Collection is a biennial (i.e., every other school year) survey of public schools required by the Office of Civil Rights (OCR) since 1968. The CRDC collects data on leading civil rights indicators related to access and barriers to educational opportunity from preschool through 12th grade.

EDFacts
EDFacts is a U.S. Department of Education (ED) initiative to collect, analyze, and promote the use of high-quality, pre-kindergarten through grade 12 data. Supports planning, policymaking, and management/budget decision-making. Centralizes data provided by state education agencies (SEAs). Collects data on district and school demographics, program participation, and performance data. EDFacts centralizes performance data supplied by state education agencies (SEAs) with other data assets, such as financial grant information, within the Department to enable better analysis and use in policy development, planning and management.

EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY COMMISSION (EEOC)
The EEOC collects workforce data from employers with more than 100 employees (lower thresholds apply to federal contractors). Employers meeting the reporting thresholds have a legal obligation to provide the data; it is not voluntary. The data is collected using the reports and race/ethnicity by some type of job grouping. This information is shared with other authorized federal agencies in order to avoid duplicate collection of data and reduce the burden placed on employers. Although the data is confidential, aggregated data is available to the public.
