Committee on Improving Measures of Access to Equal Educational Opportunity
This project will
- oversee an evaluation of the Elementary and Secondary School Civil Rights Compliance Report (E&S survey) to determine whether it can be used to identify significant trends in the area of access to equal educational opportunity for all students and inform the work of the Office for Civil Rights of the Department of Education and the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice;
- commission papers analyzing several issues covered by the survey, data permitting;
- comment on how the E&S survey methodology can be improved and/or augmented to provide relevant new data and enhance its analytical and evaluative potential; and
- identify ways in which the E&S survey data can be linked with other data sets such as data collected by the National Center on Education Statistics and the Census to provide a fuller context for analyzing issues related to access to equal educational opportunity.
