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 The authors of this paper acknowledge that the data in this study are now two years out of date.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

  • Connecticut in the US Civil War Matthew Warshauer ’90
    CENTRAL Summer 2010 the magazine for alumni & friends of central connecticutfocus state university Connecticut in the US Civil War Matthew Warshauer ’90 The Evolving Social Landscape of Northern Ireland • Connecticut Drug Policy PRESIDENT’S CORNER We are making our final preparations for opening the new academic year at Central, and we’re looking forward to a very active and exciting year for the campus community as well as for the wider central Connecticut region. Our incoming first-year class appears to be one of our most able groups ever. On average, their high school ranking is up 2 percentile points over last year’s, making it the highest level on record. It’s good to know that, according to the Princeton Review in its latest edition of The Best Northeastern Colleges, these students will find that CCSU offers a “host” of strong academic programs, including “solid study abroad options” and “ample undergraduate research opportunities.” The Review also reports there is “a very welcoming atmosphere” and our small class sizes “make it easier to have one-to-one communications” with professors. All of these are conditions that support student success, and we’ve worked hard to develop them. In addition to our new academic programs in journalism, nursing, and civil engineering, students can become involved in our growing community engagement programs. As you may remember, the University formally adopted community engagement as one of its core elements of distinctiveness. During the coming year, I expect new opportunities to emerge for students and faculty to interact with the community beyond campus for the benefit of both the community and the students’ learning.

  • 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.
