DEFINITIONS

PUBLIC SCHOOL. An institution that provides pre-school, elementary and/or secondary instruction; has one or more grade groupings (pre-kindergarten through 12) or is ungraded; has one or more teachers to give instruction; is located in one or more buildings; has an assigned administrator(s); receives public funds as its primary support; and is operated by an education agency. Public schools include charter schools that receive public funding from local or state sources.

PUBLIC SCHOOL ENROLLMENT. An unduplicated count of students enrolled in the district as of October 1, 2000, or the nearest convenient date prior to December 15, 2000. Whenever possible, report public school enrollment on the date which is as consistent as possible with the special education Child Count date in your state.

CHILDREN WITH DISABILITIES-IDEA. Under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), children with mental retardation, hearing impairments including deafness, speech or language impairments, visual impairments including blindness, emotional disturbance, orthopedic impairments, autism, traumatic brain injury, other health impairments, or specific learning disabilities, deaf-blindness, multiple disabilities, or developmental delay; and who, by reason thereof, need special education and related services.

CHILDREN WITH DISABILITIES-504. An elementary or secondary student with a disability who is being provided with related aids and services under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, and is not being provided with services under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).

  • Children receiving special education services under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), defined under Children with Disabilities-IDEA above, are reported in the column “Served under IDEA” in Table 9, or “Students with Disabilities/IDEA” in Tables 12A and 12B, or “Students with Disabilities-IDEA”’ in Tables 7, 14, and 15. Children receiving services under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, are reported in the column “Served under Section 504 Only” in Table 9 and in the column “Section 504 Only” in Tables 12A and 12B.

ABILITY GROUPING. Pedagogical practice of separating students into different classrooms within a grade based on their estimated achievement or ability levels, and who are ability grouped for classroom instruction in mathematics, or English-Reading-Language Arts.

NOTE ONE: In this application, ability grouping does NOT include grouping by achievement level on the basis of required prerequisites for certain courses, i.e., Algebra I as a prerequisite for Algebra II.

NOTE TWO: Ability grouping includes students pulled out of their regular mathematics, or English-Reading-Language Arts classes for Title I purposes in these subject areas.

RACE/ETHNICITY CATEGORIES

  • American Indian or Alaskan Native: A person having origins in any of the original peoples of North America and who maintains cultural identification through tribal affiliation or community recognition.

  • Asian or Pacific Islander: A person having origins in any of the original peoples of the Far East, Southeast Asia, the Pacific Islands, or the Indian subcontinent. This includes, for example, China, India, Japan, Korea, the Philippine Islands, and Samoa.

  • Hispanic: A person of Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Central or South American, or other Spanish culture or origin regardless of race.

  • Black (Not of Hispanic Origin): A person having origins in any of the Black racial groups of Africa.

  • White (Not of Hispanic Origin): A person having origins in any of the original peoples of Europe, North Africa, or the Middle East.

    NOTE: In October 1997, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) announced its decision concerning the revision of the standards for Federal data on race and ethnicity. In that announcement, OMB reported that there would be five racial categories -American Indian or Alaska Native, Black or African American, Asian, Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander, and White -and one ethnic category -Hispanic or Latino. Additionally, OMB announced that individuals would be allowed to select one or more categories. Under the new reporting requirements, a single, multi-racial category can not be used. OCR is currently working with OMB and other program offices in the U.S. Department of Education to develop reporting categories for aggregating multiple race responses. OCR expects to use these categories in the coming years in future versions of this Compliance Report. The Office for Civil Rights will provide ample notice to public elementary and secondary schools before these revisions go into effect.

  • The LEP column in Tables 7, 8, 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, 12A, 12B, 13, 14, and 15 means the number of students needing LEP programs.

NOTE: The three definitions which follow (which are used in Tables 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, and 11) are consistent with definitions used by the Office of Special Education Programs Placement form.

CHILDREN WHO RECEIVED SPECIAL EDUCATION OUTSIDE THE REGULAR CLASS LESS THAN 21 PERCENT OF THE SCHOOL DAY. The number of children with disabilities receiving special education and related services outside the regular classroom for less than 21 percent of the school day. This may include children with disabilities placed in: regular class with special education/related services provided within regular classes; regular class with special education/related services provided outside regular classes; or regular class with special education services provided in resource rooms.

CHILDREN WHO RECEIVED SPECIAL EDUCATION OUTSIDE THE REGULAR CLASS AT LEAST 21 PERCENT BUT NO MORE THAN 60 PERCENT OF THE SCHOOL DAY. The number of children with disabilities receiving special education and related services outside the regular classroom for at least 21 percent but no more than 60 percent of the school day. This may include: resource rooms with special education/related services provided within the resource room; or resource rooms with part-time instruction in a regular class.

CHILDREN WHO RECEIVED SPECIAL EDUCATION OUTSIDE REGULAR CLASS FOR MORE THAN 60 PERCENT OF THE SCHOOL DAY. The number of children with disabilities receiving special education and related services outside the regular classroom for more than 60 percent of the school day. Do not include children who receive education programs in separate day or residential facilities.

SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS

Item 1. Grades Offered. Darken the appropriate YES or NO bubble for each grade offered in this school. Also darken the bubble which represents the level that you consider your school to be. If you consider your school to be other than an elementary, middle/junior, or high school (for example, a school which offers instruction at more than one of these levels), please darken the OTHER bubble. If your school is totally ungraded, darken the totally ungraded bubble.

Item 2. Special Education. Darken the YES bubble if this school offers only special education classes, otherwise darken the NO bubble.

Item 3. Ability Grouping. Darken the YES bubble if you have any students in this school who are ability grouped for classroom instruction in mathematics or English-Reading-Language Arts; otherwise, darken the NO bubble.

NOTE ONE: In this application, ability grouping does NOT include grouping by achievement level on the basis of required prerequisites for certain courses, i.e., Algebra I as a prerequisite for Algebra II.

NOTE TWO: Ability grouping includes students pulled out of their regular mathematics, or English-Reading-Language Arts classes for Title I purposes in these subject areas.

Item 4. Magnet School or Program. A magnet school or program is a special school or program designed to attract students of different racial/ethnic backgrounds for the purpose of reducing, preventing or eliminating racial isolation. Racial isolation means a school with 50 percent or more minority enrollment. Darken the appropriate bubble, if this school is a magnet school or has a magnet program, regardless of the source of funding, i.e., Federal, state, or local government.

Item 5. Charter School. A charter school is a school providing free public elementary or secondary education to eligible students under a specific charter granted by the state legislature or other appropriate authority and designated by such authority to be a charter school.

Item 6. Alternative School. An alternative school is a public elementary or secondary school that addresses the needs of students which typically cannot be met in a regular school and provides nontraditional education which falls outside of the categories of regular education, special education, vocational education, gifted and talented or magnet school programs. This definition includes schools which are adjunct to a regular school, e.g., are located on the same campus as a regular school but have a separate principal or administrator. Darken the YES bubble if this school is an alternative school; otherwise, darken the NO bubble. Also darken as many bubbles as are appropriate if the school is designed to meet the needs of pregnant students, students with academic difficulties, and/or students with discipline problems.

Item 7. Pupil Statistics. (Do not include pre-kindergarten/pre-school children).

NOTE: The column “Students with Disabilities: IDEA“ in this table means children with disabilities receiving special education services under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. The column “LEP“ in this table means the number of students needing LEP programs.

  1. Enrollment. Enter in Table 7, Row A the unduplicated count of students on the rolls of the school taken, whenever possible, as of the date which is consistent with the date of the special education Child Count in your state (but no earlier than October 1, 2000, and no later than December 15, 2000). The total number of male and female students in the Students with Disabilities:IDEA column (column 7) should be equal to the sum of the totals reported in Tables 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, and 11.

  2. In Gifted Or Talented (G/T) Programs. Enter in Table 7, Row B the number of students enrolled in special programs during regular school hours for students who possess unusually high academic ability or a specialized talent or aptitude such as in literature or the arts. Count students once regardless of the number of classes in which they are enrolled.

  3. Needing LEP Programs. Enter in Table 7, Row C the number of students who have a home language other than English and who are so limited in their English proficiency that they cannot participate meaningfully in the school’s regular instructional program.

  4. Enrolled In LEP Programs. Enter in Table 7, Row D the number of students reported in Table 7, Row C as needing LEP programs who are enrolled in a program of language assistance (e.g., English-as-a-Second-Language or bilingual education). Do not count students enrolled in a class to learn a language other than English.

Item 8. Discipline of Students without Disabilities.

NOTE: Discipline of Students with Disabilities is reported in Table 9, using definitions of long-term suspension which correspond to those used in the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. Data for students without disabilities should use the following definitions.

  1. Corporal Punishment. Enter in Table 8, Row A the number of students who received corporal punishment during the previous (1999-2000) school year. Corporal punishment is paddling, spanking, or other forms of physical punishment imposed on a student. If your state or school district has a policy banning corporal punishment, please enter X in the far right box to indicate that this item does not apply. Count each student only once regardless of the number of times he or she was punished.

  2. Out-of-School Suspensions. Enter in Table 8, Row B the number of students suspended from school for at least one (1) day during the previous (1999-2000) school year. Out-of-School Suspension is defined as excluding a student from school for disciplinary reasons for one school day or longer. Count students only once regardless of the number of times suspended. Do not count students suspended from the classroom who served the suspension in the school.

  3. Total Expulsions. Enter in Table 8 Row C, the number of students expelled from school during the previous (1999 -2000) school year. An expulsion is defined as the exclusion from school for disciplinary reasons that results in the student’s removal from school attendance rolls or that meets the criteria for expulsion as defined by the appropriate state or local school authority. This includes expulsions where the student, although expelled from a particular school, continues to receive educational services from the district. Do not include suspensions.

  4. Expulsions--Total Cessation of Educational Services. Of the total number of students expelled from school during the previous (1999-2000) school year (Table 8 Row C), enter the number who had a total cessation of educational services--that is, the student, after expulsion from a school, was not offered other educational services by either the school or the district.

×
  1. Expulsions--Zero Tolerance Policies. Of the total number of students expelled during the previous (1999-2000) school year (Table 8 Row C), enter the number of students who were expelled because of zero tolerance policies. A zero tolerance expulsion policy is a policy that results in mandatory expulsion of any student who commits one or more specified offenses (for example, some zero tolerance policies specify offenses involving guns, or other weapons, or violence, or similar factors, or combinations of these factors).

    NOTE: A zero tolerance expulsion policy should still be included in your response to this question, even if the resulting “mandatory” expulsion may be subject to some narrow or limited exceptions. For example, the Federal Gun -Free Schools Act permits “State law to allow the chief administering officer of . . . a local education agency to modify such expulsion requirement for a student on a case-by-case basis”, and State or district zero tolerance expulsion policies may similarly give discretion for limited exceptions to the strict application of the expulsion requirement. Such policies would still be “zero tolerance policies” which should be included in your responses to this question. The count requested should only include students actually expelled as a result of such policies.

Item 9. Discipline of Students with Disabilities. Schools must report data on the numbers of students receiving corporal punishment during the 1999-2000 school year in Row A (see Item 8 for definition of corporal punishment). Schools also must report data on the number of students with disabilities who received long-term suspensions/expulsions during the 1999-2000 school year (suspensions of more than 10 days) in Row B (students who continued to receive services) and Row C (students for whom there was a cessation of services). The column entitled “Served under Section 504 Only” refers to those students receiving services solely under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended. In each row, report students only once regardless of the number of times he or she was disciplined. See general instructions for the appropriate response if a cell has no students or is not applicable to this school. Individual students may be reported in more than one row.

Item 10. Children with Disabilities. (Do not count pre-kindergarten/pre-school children.) Enter the number of students with disabilities by race/ethnicity, educational placement, sex, and LEP. Report all students receiving special education services at this school, whether or not they reside in this school district. Count each student only once. If a student has more than one disability, count by the primary disability. Please read the instructions fully before completing this item.

Enter in Table 10.1:

MENTAL RETARDATION. This refers to significantly sub-average general intellectual functioning existing concurrently with deficits in adaptive behavior and manifested during the developmental period, which adversely affect a child’s educational performance.

  1. Mild Retardation. Students require intermittent support to perform functional academic skills, activities of daily living (self-care, home living, use of their community, recreation and leisure activities, work) or communicating and interacting with others. This support may be episodic, time-limited (may be intense but for a relatively short period of time), or of low intensity over a long period of time.

  2. Moderate Retardation. Students require limited but continuing support to perform functional academic skills, activities of daily living (self-care, home living, use of their community, recreation and leisure activities, work) or communicating and interacting with others. This support may be consistent over time. It may be either time-limited (but may be intense for a substantial period of time), or of low intensity over a life span.

  3. Severe Retardation. Students require extensive or pervasive support to perform functional academic skills, activities of daily living (self-care, home living, use of their community, recreation and leisure activities, work) or communicating and interacting with others. Support may be of high intensity, over long periods of time, or potentially life sustaining.

    NOTE: Complete Rows A, B, and C if your school collects this information. Rows A, B, and C are optional if your school does not already collect this information. If a particular cell is not applicable, enter an X in the right-most box of the cell.

  4. Total is the total of Table 10.1 Rows A, B, and C. You must complete Row D, regardless of whether or not you have reported data in Rows A, B, and C. If a particular cell is not applicable in your case, enter an X in the right-most box of the cell.

    NOTE: The computational total in column 6 of this table is optional. You may complete it if it will assist you in your computations. It is not required by OCR.

Enter in Table 10.2:

NOTE: The definitions of disability categories which follow are the same as the definitions used by the Office of Special Education Programs, as specified in the regulations for the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act.

  1. Emotional Disturbance. [previously entitled Serious Emotional Disturbance] This refers to a condition exhibiting one or more of the following characteristics over a long period of time and to a marked degree, which adversely affects a child’s educational performance: (1) an inability to learn, which cannot be explained by intellectual, sensory, or health factors; (2) an inability to build or maintain satisfactory interpersonal relationships with peers and teachers; (3) inappropriate behavior or feelings under normal circumstances; (4) a general pervasive mood of unhappiness or depression; or (5) a tendency to develop physical symptoms or fears associated with personal or school problems. The term includes schizophrenia. The term does not apply to children who are socially maladjusted, unless it is determined that they have an emotional disturbance.

  2. Specific Learning Disability. This refers to a disorder in one or more of the basic psychological processes involved in understanding or in using language, spoken or written, which may manifest itself in an imperfect ability to listen, think, speak, read, write, spell, or do mathematical calculations. The term includes such conditions as perceptual disabilities, brain injury, minimal brain dysfunction, dyslexia, and developmental aphasia. The term does not include learning problems that are primarily the result of visual, hearing, or motor disabilities, of mental retardation, of emotional disturbance, or of environmental, cultural, or economic disadvantage.

NOTE: The computational total in column 6 is optional. You may complete it if it will assist you in your computations. It is not required by OCR.

Enter in Table 10.3: Developmental Delay.

Developmental Delay as defined in the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act is defined as a child who is experiencing developmental delays, as defined by your state, and as measured by appropriate diagnostic instruments and procedures in one or more of the following cognitive areas: physical development, cognitive development, communication development, social or emotional development, or adaptive development. Please refer to the instructions on the table for this item before you complete it, in order to ensure that your state and your district meet all necessary requirements.

NOTE: The computational total in column 6 is optional. You may complete it if it will assist you in your computations. It is not required by OCR.

NOTE: The column LEP in these tables means the number of students needing LEP programs.

Item 11. Additional Categories of Children with Disabilities. (Do not include pre-kindergarten/pre-school children). Enter the number of students by educational placement and by disability. Report all students receiving special education services at this school, whether or not they reside in this school district. Count each student only once. If a student has more than one disability, count by the primary disability.

NOTE: The computational total in column 4 is optional. You may complete it if it will assist you in your computations. It is not required by OCR.

  1. Hearing Impairments. This refers to an impairment in hearing, whether permanent or fluctuating, that adversely affects a child’s educational performance. It also includes a hearing impairment that is so severe that the child is impaired in processing linguistic information through hearing, with or without amplification, that adversely affects a child’s educational performance.

  2. Speech or Language Impairments. This refers to a communication disorder, such as stuttering, impaired articulation, a language impairment, or a voice impairment, that adversely affects a child’s educational performance.

  3. Visual Impairments. This refers to a visual impairment which, even with correction, adversely impacts a child’s educational performance. The term includes both partial sight and blindness.

  4. Orthopedic Impairments. This refers to a severe orthopedic impairment that adversely affects a child’s educational performance. The term includes impairments caused by congenital anomaly (e.g., clubfoot, absence of some member, etc.), impairments caused by disease (e.g,. poliomyelitis, bone tuberculosis, etc.) and impairments from other causes (e.g., cerebral palsy, amputations, and fractures or burns that cause contractures).

  1. Autism. This refers to a development disability significantly affecting verbal and non-verbal communication and social interaction, generally evident before age 3, that adversely affects educational performance. Other characteristics often associated with autism are engagement in repetitive activities and stereotyped movements, resistance to environmental change or change in daily routines, and unusual responses to sensory experiences. Autism doesn’t apply if a child’s educational performance is adversely affected primarily because the child has an emotional disturbance.

  2. Traumatic Brain Injury. This refers to an acquired injury to the brain caused by an external physical force, resulting in total or partial functional disability or psychosocial impairment or both, that adversely affects a child’s educational performance. The term applies to open or closed head injuries resulting in impairments in one or more areas, such as cognition; language; memory; attention; reasoning; abstract thinking; judgement; problem-solving; sensory, perceptual, and motor abilities; psychosocial behavior; physical functions; information processing; and speech. The term does not apply to brain injuries that are congenital or degenerative, or brain injuries induced by birth trauma.

  3. Deaf-Blindness. This refers to concomitant hearing and visual impairments, the combination of which causes such severe communication and other developmental and educational problems that they cannot be accommodated in special education programs solely for children with blindness or children with deafness.

  4. Multiple Disabilities. This refers to concomitant impairments (such as mental retardation-blindness, mental retardation-orthopedic impairments, etc.), the combination of which causes such severe educational problems that the problems cannot be accommodated in special education programs solely for one of the impairments. The term does not include deaf-blindness.

  5. Other Health Impairments. This refers to having limited strength, vitality, or alertness, due to chronic or acute health problems such as a heart condition, tuberculosis, rheumatic fever, nephritis, asthma, sickle cell anemia, hemophilia, epilepsy, lead poisoning, leukemia or diabetes, which adversely affects a child’s educational performance.

  6. Total. This is an optional computational row. You may complete it if it will help you in your computation. It is not required by OCR.

Note on maintaining data by sex on students with disabilities: The sum of the totals reported in Tables 10.1, 10.2, 10.3 and 11 equals the number of Students With Disabilities receiving special education services under IDEA reported in Column 7 on Table 7, Row A. A student should be counted only once, based on the child’s primary disability, and in only one of the four tables. Although you are not required to report data by sex on Table 11, you are required to maintain data on the sex of all students with disabilities for the purposes of responding to Table 7 Row A. Please note that districts are only required to provide data on the sex of specific subcategories of students with disabilities in Tables 10.1, 10.2, and 10.3.

SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS FOR TABLES 12A AND 12B: TESTING

TABLE 12A IS TO BE COMPLETED BY ELEMENTARY AND MIDDLE SCHOOLS (GRADES K-8)

Table 12A. Testing (for Grade-to-grade promotion). Please complete this table if your school administered, in the 1999-2000 school year, a districtor state-required test that students are either required to pass or that is used as a significant factor in making promotion decisions for all students taking the test. If your school conducted tests for grade-to-grade promotion for more than one grade, please photocopy the table as many times as are necessary BEFORE filling it out in order to report on each test. Report data using both the original table on this page and as many photocopied tables as are appropriate.

If students were not required to pass a districtor state-required test to be promoted from one grade to the next, please darken the bubble entitled “No such tests were administered”.

If students were required to pass such a test, please darken the appropriate bubble indicating whether this test was a “sole criterion” or a “significant criterion”, and complete the table. If all students were required to take a districtor state-required test, and must pass the test to be promoted from one grade to the next, please darken the bubble entitled “Sole criterion”. However, if all students were required to take the test, and the test is an important criterion in the decision on whether or not to promote the student from grade to grade, but other criteria, such as teacher recommendations or student grades were used in the promotion decision, please darken the bubble entitled “Significant criterion”.

Please provide the following data for the testing of students in these grades during the 1999-2000 school year, by race/ethnicity, limited English proficiency (in the column entitled LEP), and whether the student is receiving services under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (in the column entitled Students with Disabilities-IDEA) or under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (in the column entitled Section 504 Only), and sex.

Since 1968 the Elementary and Secondary School Civil Rights Compliance Report (known as the E&S survey) has been used to gather information about possible disparities in access to learning opportunities and violations of students’ civil rights. Thirty-five years after the initiation of the E&S survey, large disparities remain both in educational outcomes and in access to learning opportunities and resources. These disparities may reflect violations of students’ civil rights, the failure of education policies and practices to provide students from all backgrounds with a similar educational experience, or both. They may also reflect the failure of schools to fully compensate for disparities and current differences in parents’ education, income, and family structure.

The Committee on Improving Measures of Access to Equal Educational Opportunities concludes that the E&S survey continues to play an essential role in documenting these disparities and in providing information that is useful both in guiding efforts to protect students’ civil rights and for informing educational policy and practice. The committee also concludes that the survey’s usefulness and access to the survey data could be improved.
