Since 1968, the federal government has collected civil rights data about schools. For the first time, the 2015-16 CRDC report includes comprehensive data regarding incidents of criminal offenses in our nation’s public schools. It also includes several new categories of data on Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) course taking.
