Collecting this data previously has been time consuming and cumbersome - up until now. Public schools can now utilize this jmc report to quickly find all of the data needed to satisfy filling out the CRDC spreadsheet through more intuitive querying.

In jmc Office, click your state in the menu tree and head to Civil Rights Data Collection (CRDC) > Courses.
