Numerous high-profile events involving student victimization on school buses have raised critical questions regarding the safety of school-based transportation for children, the efforts taken by school districts to protect students on buses, and the most effective transportation-based behavioral management strategies for reducing misconduct. To address these questions, a national web-based survey was administered to public school district-level transportation officials throughout the United States to assess the prevalence of misconduct on buses, identify strategies to address misconduct, and describe effective ways to reduce student misbehavior on buses. Telephone interviews were also conducted with a small group of transportation officials to understand the challenges of transportation-based behavioral management, to determine successful strategies to create safe and positive school bus environments, and to identify data-driven approaches for tracking and assessing disciplinary referrals.

This study tested a model of individual, familial, and peer variables that additively and synergistically increased or decreased the risk for sexual and teen dating violence based on bullying experiences in early adolescence. The study surveyed 1,162 students from three cohorts in four Midwestern middle schools, who were then followed into three high schools. Five waves of surveys collected information about the level of violence in student homes with parents and siblings or with other children, physical abuse, sexual abuse, exposure to domestic violence, frequency of bullying, self-reported delinquency, and exposure to delinquent friends during the middle school years. Waves six and seven were collected during high school and sexual violence and teen dating violence measures were added to the surveys.

Bullying affects large numbers of U.S. students in elementary schools and is associated with short and long-term harms for both victims and bullies. Although prevention is critical, schools also need effective interventions for dealing with bullying once it occurs. Funded by the National Institute of Justice, and in collaboration with the Oakland Unified School District and No Bully, WestEd conducted a two-year study of the impacts of the No Bully System (NBS) - a set of interventions designed to activate adult and peer support systems within the school for the targets of bullying. No Bully trains staff to prevent and interrupt student harassment and bullying and ensure school-wide antibullying policies are in place. The core component of NBS is the Solution Team where a trained adult facilitator (Solution Coach) brings together a group of 6-8 students (Solution Team) that includes the bully or bullies, bystanders and pro-social peers, and leads the team through a series of three brief meetings to end the bullying of one of their peers by cultivating empathy and developing peer-driven solutions. The target is not included in the initial meetings though s/he is invited to attend the final session. The collection contains 2 SPSS data files: NoBully_ST-Log-Data_final_archive.sav (n=94; 47 variables) and No-Bully_Survey-Data_final.sav (n=6410; 204 variables).

The Civil Rights Data Collection (CRDC), formerly administered as the Elementary and Secondary School Civil Rights Survey, is an important part of the U.S. Department of Education's (Department) Office for Civil Rights (OCR) strategy for administering and enforcing civil rights laws in the nation’s public school districts and schools. The CRDC collects a variety of information including student access to rigorous courses, programs, resources, instructional and other school staff, and school climate factors such as student discipline and harassment and bullying. Much of the data is disaggregated by race/ethnicity, sex, disability and whether students are English Learners.Since the 2011–12 school year, OCR has collected data from all public districts and their schools in the 50 states and Washington, DC. Over time the CRDC’s collection universe has grown to include long-term secure justice facilities, charter schools, alternative schools, and special education schools that focus primarily on serving students with disabilities. OCR added the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico to the CRDC, beginning with the 2017-18 CRDC. From 1968 to 2010, civil rights data were collected from a sample of public districts and their schools, except for the 1976 and 2000 collections, which included data from all public schools and districts.The purpose of the CRDC Archival Download Tool (Archival Tool) is to make the Department’s civil rights data from 1968 to 1998 publicly available. The Archival Tool organizes civil rights data by year, and provides users with access to the data, survey forms, and other relevant documentation. The tool also includes documentation on key historical CRDC data changes from 1968 to 1998. Users may extract district-level civil rights data.Important Consideration: Past collections and publicly released reports may contain some terms that readers may consider obsolete, offensive and/or inappropriate. As part of the Department’s goal to be open and transparent with the public, we are providing access to all civil rights data in its original format.Privacy notice:The Department of Education’s Disclosure Review Board determined that the CRDC files for 1968-1998 are safe for public “re-release” under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) (20 U.S.C. § 1232g; 34 CFR Part 99).

The primary purpose of the School Crime Supplement (SCS) is to obtain additional information about school-related victimizations so that policymakers; academic researchers; practitioners at the federal, state, and local levels; and special interest groups who are concerned with crime in schools can make informed decisions concerning policies and programs. The SCS asks questions related to students' experiences with, and perceptions of crime and safety at school, including preventive measures employed by schools; students' participation in after school activities; students' perception of school rules and enforcement of these rules; the presence of weapons, drugs, alcohol, and gangs in school; student bullying; hate-related incidents; and attitudinal questions relating to the fear of victimization at school. These responses are linked to the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) survey instrument responses for a more complete understanding of the individual student's circumstances.
