What's D.A.T. About?

The Data Accountability Center (DAC) is excited to introduce its Data Analytic Tool. This tool provides users with the most recent publicly available state-level IDEA data. The tool may be used to view data trends, generate data reports, copy data into spreadsheets, generate graphics as appropriate to the data selected, and run cross-tabulations using variables collected as part of that data set.

At the current time, there are up to five years of data for 11 data sets – seven for Part B and four for Part C. The data sets include Part B Child Count, Part B Educational Environments, Part B Exiting, Part B Discipline, Part B Personnel, Part B Dispute Resolution, Part B Assessment, Part C Child Count, Part C Settings, Part C Exiting, and Part C Dispute Resolution.
