Dates

The data reported should be based on the entire 2021-22 regular school year, not including intersession or summer.

When to Report Zero (0) and When to Use Blanks (i.e., NULL Values)

Zeroes represent an actual count or number for fields that are applicable to a given school or LEA. Report a zero ("0") only if the LEA has collected the information and the amount to report for that field is zero. Do not report a "0" for data not collected. Leave a field blank if the LEA does not collect data for that field, if the amount asked is unknown, or if the question does not apply to the LEA.

Not Applicable (NA) and Zero (0) Autofills In Tables

The online tool remembers information that has been entered in other tables and modules and uses that information to fill related tables with either a Not Applicable (NA) code or zero (0) where appropriate. For example, if it is reported that a school does not have any female students who are EL, then other tables that ask for counts of female students who are EL will be automatically filled with a zero.

Key Definitions

  • A justice facility is a public or private facility that confines pre-adjudicated/pre-convicted individuals, post-adjudicated/post-convicted individuals, or both. Justice facilities include, but are not limited to correctional facilities, detention centers, jails, and prisons. These facilities may confine juveniles (individuals typically under 21 years of age), adults (individuals typically 21 years of age and older), or both. Some states and jurisdictions include individuals younger than age 21 as adults due to statute/legislation and/or justice procedures. For the purposes of
    the CRDC, only individuals up to 21 years of age who are confined in justice facilities are of interest.
  • A justice facility educational program is a program for children and youth (not beyond grade 12) served at a justice facility that consists of credit-granting courses and classroom instruction in at minimum, basic school subjects, such as reading, English language arts, and mathematics. Classroom instruction in vocationally-oriented subjects may also be considered part of the program. Neither the manufacture of goods within the facility nor activities related to facility maintenance are considered classroom instruction. Credit-granting refers to any course that
    results in a letter grade or a pass/fail designation and is required of a student to move to the next grade level or
    complete a program of study and receive a high school diploma.
  • A regular educational program usually begins in the late summer or early fall and ends in late spring or early summer. On average, a regular educational program operates for 210 days. A year-round educational program usually operates for a 12-month period.

For the regular 2021-22 school year, not including intersession or summer, indicate if your justice facility was best described as pre-adjudication (pre-conviction), post-adjudication (postconviction), or both.

  • A pre-adjudication facility confines pre-adjudicated juveniles. A pre-adjudicated juvenile is an individual (typically under 21 years of age) who has been charged, but who has not participated in the court process that determines whether the juvenile has committed the crime. Adjudication is the court process that determines (judges) if the juvenile committed the act for which the juvenile is charged.
  • A post-adjudication facility confines post-adjudicated juveniles. A post-adjudicated juvenile is an individual (typically under 21 years of age) who has been charged and determined to have committed the crime. Adjudication is the court process that determines (judges) if the juvenile committed the act for which the juvenile is charged.
  • A pre-conviction facility confines pre-convicted adults. A pre-convicted adult is an individual (typically 21 years of age or older) who has been charged, but who has not participated in the court process that determines (judges) if the adult committed the act for which the adult is charged.
  • A post-conviction facility confines post-convicted adults. A post-convicted adult is an individual (typically 21 years of age or older) who has been charged and determined to have committed the crime.
