  • 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 The authors of this paper acknowledge that the data in this study are now two years out of date.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.

  • Solar on Connecticut Schools: Why Not on Yours?
    Solar on Connecticut Schools Why not on yours? The purpose of this report is to encourage you, as a member of a school board, school administrator, or member of the public, to consider putting solar on (or next to) your school. Schools with solar save money on their electric bills, reduce their greenhouse gas emissions, and provide an onsite educational opportunity for their students. As Connecticut looks to meet its ambitious goals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, solar energy has played a significant and rapidly growing role. Across the state, schools have shown clear leadership. At last count, over 100 schools have installed sizeable solar arrays on their rooftops, parking lots and land. Yet, these 100 schools represent less than 10% of the schools in the state, so the potential for further installations of clean energy is immense Nayaug Elementary, Glastonbury, CT With their typically substantial flat roofs, large parking lots and high electricity demand, schools are excellent candidates for solar installations. As the cost of solar panels and their installation plummets, schools have been able to reduce their electricity bills, shifting funds to their primary purpose: educating our youth. In fact, school solar arrays invariably work their way into the school curriculum, providing a powerful, tangible educational tool. Other CT Schools as a Resource Our report includes a list of over 100 Connecticut schools with solar arrays larger than 60 kW. In total, these arrays represent a combined installed capacity of over 17 megawatts, capable of producing over 20 million kWh per year. We created the list to help you find schools that have already installed solar.

  • State Department of Education Announces High School AYP
    NEWS Connecticut Department of Education Dr. Betty J. Sternberg, Commissioner EMBARGOED September 7, 2005 State Department of Education Announces High School AYP (Hartford, Connecticut) – Seventy-two percent (130 out of 181) of Connecticut’s high schools achieved the standards for adequate yearly progress (AYP) under the federal No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act based on performance on the 2005 Connecticut Academic Performance Test (CAPT). This year, high schools had to reach a higher benchmark in the percentage of students scoring at or above proficient than in previous years. For the last three years, at least 59 percent of the students tested needed to score at or above proficient in mathematics and 62 percent needed to score at or above proficient in reading. This year, high schools had to meet the following standards: o 69 percent of students must be proficient in mathematics; o 72 percent must be proficient in reading; o 70 percent of students graduate; and o 95 percent must participate in CAPT testing. Under NCLB regulations, the targets at or above proficient must increase at intervals until 2014, when 100 percent of all students are expected to be proficient. The graduation rate and participation rate requirements will remain constant. “While the standard went up 10 percentage points in each subject, the overall impact on the number of schools that did not meet AYP was minimal,” said Commissioner of Education Betty J. Sternberg. “While this is good news, we must sustain our collective efforts to help schools not making AYP and ensure that all students achieve at high levels.” A total of 51 high schools did not make AYP.
