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 The authors of this paper acknowledge that the data in this study are now two years out of date.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

    2021 Baseball Letter from the Athletic Director Dear Friends of UConn Avery Point Baseball: I offer my sincerest greetings as the 2021 season kicks off for our baseball program at the University of Connecticut Avery Point. Pointers There certainly have been a lot of changes in the world since the team took the field to start the 2020 season. Pointers However, we are excited to see our Pointers back out on the field for action this spring on the heels of a 2020 campaign that was cut short after just five games due to the pandemic. With a mix of student-athletes in their first, second or third academic years here at Avery Point, I believe that we’re looking ahead towards a strong season. Coach Ratchford and his staff have assembled a fine group of student-athletes that has already achieved great things academically in the last 12 months. Last year’s team posted a 3.3 combined GPA in the spring, 2020 semester and closed the year by earning NJCAA All-Academic Team Honors. This year’s squad followed that up by notching a 3.28 team GPA in the fall semester. Despite some changes to participating teams in the region and across New England, we have assembled another competitive schedule here in 2021. Thank you for your continued support of UConn Avery Point athletics. Go Pointers!

  • Credit Attainment and Remediation: Results from P20WIN for the Graduation Cohort of 2011
    Credit Attainment and Remediation: Results from P20WIN for the Graduation Cohort of 2011 During the summer of 2014, three Connecticut state agencies—the Connecticut State Department of Education, the Board of Regents for Higher Education, and the Department of Labor—successfully completed a pilot project and established the Preschool through 20 and Workforce Information Network. In 2015, the University of Connecticut (UConn) joined the effort, adding significantly to the scope of the data and analysis. P20WIN is an unprecedented interagency network that securely links data to gain new insights that can help improve the policies and procedures that affect individuals and students these agencies serve. The results contained herein are from a query of P20WIN data that provides an evaluation of the postsecondary outcomes achieved by the high school graduation cohort of 2011 in Connecticut’s public universities and community colleges. The results are provided in three tables (see appendix): Table 1: Statewide Results by Subgroup Table 2: Results by District Table 3: Results by High School Table 1: Statewide Results by Subgroup Of the more than 37,000 on-time graduates in the 2011 graduation cohort (i.e., first-time freshmen in the fall of 2007), 45.4 percent enrolled in a Connecticut Public University or Community College within 16 months of their high school graduation. Of the students enrolled in Connecticut public universities and community colleges, 59.9 percent earned a year’s worth of college credit (24 credits) within two years of enrollment. Female students were slightly more likely than male students to have enrolled and earned a year’s credit in that time (61.6 percent as compared with 58.1 percent).
