  • The Prevalence and Impact of School Resource Officers in Connecticut Appendix A
    Policing Connecticut’s Hallways: The Prevalence and Impact of School Resource Officers in Connecticut Appendix A In this appendix, we describe in greater detail the statistical analyses and results used in our report. Data Sources The data used in this report come from three sources: the 2015-2016 and 2013-2014 United States Department of Education Office of Civil Rights Data Collection (CRDC), the 2015-2016 school year reporting from the Connecticut State Department of Education data reporting tool “EdSight,”1 and District Reference Groups (DRG) designations that group school districts according to similar community characteristics and resources. We used the 2015 SDE DRG designations.2 Our data set included data from charter schools where possible, but we should note that charter schools are their own district so any analyses where we look at District Reference Groups do not include charter schools. The CRDC is a federally mandated reporting of school-level data regarding educational access for protected classes of students (gender, race/ethnicity, nationality, disability status, etc.). All public schools (PreK-12) in the country are required to report to the federal government on issues such as the use of exclusionary discipline, teacher experience, and enrollment in advanced courses. EdSight is a state repository of school-, state-, and district-level education data taken from all school districts in Connecticut. The authors of this paper acknowledge that the data in this study are now two years out of date. Because there is no central public reporting of the presence of SROs in CT, data on which schools employ SROs are most available and accessible through the CRDC website, but the last available year of data available through this data set is School Year (SY) 2015-2016.

  • A Historical Timeline
    Southern Connecticut Conference A Historical Timeline Summer 1991 – A committee of five superintendents, led by chairman and Wallingford superintendent Joe Cirasuolo, begin to explore the possibility of a forming a super conference in the New Haven area. Members of the committee included John Onofrio (West Haven), Dave Shaw (Hamden), Steve Gordon (Bethany-Orange-Woodbridge) and Gene Coppola (Seymour). The impetus for these discussions was the plight of four area high schools who were forced to travel substantial distances in order to have a full sports schedule. Other concerns were raised including the changing size of student enrollment in area high schools and racial/ethic isolation. November 19, 1991 – The All Connecticut Conference is reduced to six schools after East Catholic of Manchester decides to leave the league at the conclusion of the 1991-92 school year. March 10, 1992 – A meeting was held at Carrigan Middle School in West Haven with area superintendents to discuss a proposal for a super conference. Thirty-two high schools were contacted about potential interest. October 1992 – Jim Benanto, athletic director at Shelton High School, agrees to chair a Planning Group to develop proposals about the mega conference, specifically divisional formats. January 19, 1993 – Twenty-seven schools attend a meeting hosted by Peter Young, executive director of ACES, with the purpose of reviewing proposals for the mega conference. May 13, 1993 – Twenty-one schools attend a meeting, led by Shelton athletic director Jim Benanto, to discuss and finalize proposal of a mega conference to area superintendents and principals. The conference would be divided into three divisions and three different scheduling formats are proposed for sponsored sports.
