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

  • Remote instruction refers to non-face-to-face (i.e., not in-person) instruction during which teachers and students are separated by location. Remote instruction may include synchronous (i.e., live) instruction or asynchronous (i.e., non-live) instruction provided by teachers. Non-face-to-face instruction may include broadcast, correspondence, interactive audio/video, and online instruction mediums.

Special Instructions

The purpose of this module is to help OCR understand the school’s responses to this survey, and to help guide you to the CRDC items that apply to the school.For schools that complete the SCHR-1: Fully Virtual School Indicator and select “Yes,” the Coronavirus Pandemic related Directional Indicators and Items module does not apply.
