As the charter sector grows and evolves, information regarding these autonomous public schools of choice evolves as well. Prior to 2015, only a handful of reports included information about the status of students with disabilities in charter schools. In fall 2015, the National Center for Special Education in Charter Schools (NCSECS) published a report that analyzed the data from the 2011-2012 U.S. Civil Rights Data Collection (CRDC). The report examined key public school data and made state-by-state comparisons of critical indicators impacting the status of students with disabilities in charter schools compared to traditional public schools. This report builds on the previous one by providing updates on the same key indicators and introduces additional information on enrollment by disability type and charter school legal status using the 2013-2014 CRDC report, the most recent data published by the Office for Civil Rights. This report also builds on the existing list of specialized charter schools identified in the last report. Overall, the analysis of the 2013-2014 CRDC data shows similar patterns to those seen in the 2011-2012 CRDC data. [For the 2011-2012 report, see ED604578.]
