2020-21 Washington State CRDC Data - Pre-K Enrollment

The Civil Rights Data Collection (CRDC) is a biennial (i.e., every other school year) survey required by the U.S. Department of Education’s (Department) Office for Civil Rights (OCR) since 1968. The CRDC collects a variety of information including student enrollment and educational programs and services, most of which is disaggregated by race/ethnicity, sex, limited English proficiency, and disability. The CRDC is a longstanding and important aspect of the ED Office for Civil Rights (OCR) overall strategy for administering and enforcing the civil rights statutes for which it is responsible.

Data was reported directly from the school districts to the Office of Civil Rights. This data process is not managed by OSPI and therefore the data is not validated or reviewed by OSPI before being reported to OCR. For this reason data presented in this file will not mirror OSPI reports on similar student and school measures. 

In some cases data was unavailable or suppressed by OCR to protect student privacy, for more information on this please visit the CRDC webpage. In addition, directory information for some schools is incomplete, as the names of the organizations provided in the CRDC data files did not match the names of organizations on record with OSPI.

For additional information or questions about this data please visit the CRDC webpage at https://ocrdata.ed.gov/.

WDFW-Bonneville Dam observations

Visual observations of Chinook salmon ascending fish ladders at Bonneville Dam by ecotype (Bright and Tule) and size class (Jack, Stubby, and Adult) conducted during approximately 1-hour counting periods midday from August through October. These counts are used by fisheries managers to break down visual observations of the total number of Chinook throughout the entire day into different management stocks. The information is used to evaluate run sizes relative to pre-season forecasts to align management targets for harvest with conservation objectives. The visual classifications of ecotypes are subject to errors, which can be substantial in some circumstances, such as when the visual characteristics that distinguish the ecotypes are less pronounced. These data are not used in end-of-season calculations of run size and harvest rates but rather are a tool for in-season monitoring of approximate run size.
