The Common Core of Data is the
National Center for Education Statistics' universe data collection
for finance and nonfinance information about public school
districts and schools. Information is collected annually from
school districts about their member schools including enrollment by
grade, race/ethnicity, and gender. Information is also collected
about students receiving various types of services such as English
Language Learner services. The CCD also collects information about
the occurrence of high school dropouts. Information about teachers
and staffing is also collected.
Burden is decreasing because it
is expected that about 47 states will report via EDEN. There is no
increase in burden although ROCIS reports an increase due to newly
added ICs since ED now needs to show the breakdown of the different
instruments. There are no new items (instruments) from the previous
collection; the overall burden shows a decrease in hours.
