  • School Associated Violent Deaths
    The National School Safety Center's Report on School Associated Violent Deaths Internet: www.schoolsafety.us E-mail: [email protected] In-House Report of the National School Safety Center 141 Duesenberg Drive, Suite 11 • Westlake Village, CA 91362 • Ph: 805/373-9977 • Fax: 805/373-9277 Dr. Ronald D. Stephens, Executive Director DEFINITION: A school-associated violent death is any homicide, suicide, or weapons-related violent death in the United States in which the fatal injury occurred: 1) on the property of a functioning public, private or parochial elementary or secondary school, Kindergarten through grade 12, (including alternative schools); 2) on the way to or from regular sessions at such a school; 3) while person was attending or was on the way to or from an official school-sponsored event; 4) as an obvious direct result of school incident/s, function/s or activities, whether on or off school bus/vehicle or school property. * Note: Not a scientific survey. Since information is taken from newspaper clipping services, it is possible that not all such clippings have reached the NSSC. SCOPE: Newspaper accounts, on which NSSC bases this report, frequently do not list names and ages of those who are charged with the deaths of others. Such omissions were in some cases because the person charged was a minor. In some instances, persons were killed in drive-by shootings, gang encounters or during melees in which the killer was not identified, and the killers were either never apprehended or were caught days or months after the crime was first reported.

Our mission is to transform the use of data in education to improve student achievement. Part of the Center for Education Policy Research at Harvard University, SDP was formed on two fundamental premises: 1. Policy and management decisions can directly influence schools’ and teachers’ ability to improve student achievement. 2. Valid and reliable data analysis significantly improves the quality of decision making. THEORY OF ACTION SDP believes that if we are able to bring together the right people, assemble the right data, and perform the right analysis, we can help leaders make better decisions—ultimately improving student achievement significantly. To make this happen, SDP pursues three strategies: Strengthening Analytic Capacity Placing and supporting data strategists in partner organizations who will influence policy at the local, state, and national levels Uncovering New Insights through Applied Research Creating policy- and management-relevant analyses for districts and states Supporting Network Growth and Improved Decision-Making Transforming how data is used in the education sector through broad dissemination of analytic tools, methods, and best practices The project is supported by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. 2 SDP College-Going Diagnostic for Cleveland Metropolitan School District SDP COLLEGE-GOING DIAGNOSTIC Introduction and Background The College-Going Diagnostic was a timely research Contents collaboration in light of the recent initiatives related to college going in Cleveland.
