This project was centered on the apparent tension between keeping schools safe and keeping students attached to school. The project used comprehensive administrative data from the North Carolina public school system available through the North Carolina Education Research Data Center (NCERDC). This dataset, along with juvenile court record data and publicly-available data from the North Carolina adult criminal justice system, linked administrative information from the same individuals in both school disciplinary records and the juvenile and adult criminal justice systems. The ultimate goal of this project was to determine if different policy choices by schools causally decrease rates of in-school violence in the short run and/or increase rates of conviction and incarceration in the long term.

This dataset is an updated version of the 2008 dataset containing all public school locations in North Carolina. New schools were geocoded in ArcGIS 10 and merged with the existing dataset. Closed schools were removed,and existing attribute information was updated with current data. Some new fields were added, including designations for Pre-K, Elementary, Middle, High, and Early College schools. A review process was performed to move incorrect existing school points to new correct locations. Not all points were able to be individually reviewed,and may represent approximate school locations. This update was a collaborative effort among the Center for Geographic Information and Analysis, Institute for Transportation Research and Education, and NC Department of Public Instruction. Current school data was provided by NC DPI, using the Educational Directory and Demographical Information Exchange (EDDIE), found at http://apps.schools.nc.gov/eddie. ITRE used this dataset to conduct the update process, which included all steps of GIS analysis listed above. CGIA consulted on processing steps, lineage, and quality control to prepare the dataset for the NC OneMap Geospatial Portal.

In August 2021, the South Carolina Center for Rural and Primary Healthcare partnered with the University of North Carolina at Greensboro to produce South Carolina Public Libraries & Health: Needs and Opportunities, as part of its broader Rural Libraries and Health Cooperative Agreement program, funded by the the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental via the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention National Initiative to Address COVID-19 Health Disparities Among Populations at High-Risk and Underserved, Including Racial and Ethnic Minority Population and Rural Communities, a non-research grant funded through the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2021. The study documented a range of ways that South Carolina public libraries support health. It also assessed what needs public libraries have as they seek to support health in their communities. Based on that analysis, a model for continuing education to support the alignment of public libraries and health was developed. As an exploratory study, South Carolina Public Libraries & Health: Needs and Opportunities highlights implications for a variety of stakeholder groups including those working in the health sector at both local and state levels, as well as library workers and administrators, funders and policy makers, and researchers. Using snowball sampling techniques, 123 library workers from across the state completed a survey in September 2021 about their health partnerships and health-related continuing education needs; an additional 19 completed a portion of the survey.

Principal preparation programs play an important role in developing future school leaders’ skills and practices. Internships, or structured opportunities for future leaders to engage in the work of school leadership in hands-on, authentic ways are among the most essential components of principal preparation. Using longitudinal data from 12 programs in North Carolina, this study extends research on internships by examining the pathways of interns from prior- to post-internship employment. We find that internships are highly localized around interns’ prior- and post-employment schools, but not their preparation program, with wide variability in placements between programs. Interns’ demographics do not play a large role in shaping the geography of internship placements. However, we find that preparation program type is strongly related to the geography of internship placements, suggesting that differences in program structure may shape internship placements. We conclude by highlighting the limitations and discussing implications for future research.

The Congressional Research Service (CRS) is the nonpartisan research and analytical arm of the U.S. Congress, and is physically and structurally located within the Library of Congress. Despite the role of CRS as a critical information provider and technical assistant to actors crafting and implementing federal policy, CRS reports, which serve as a key mechanism of information dissemination and influence by the organization, only became widely available to the public following the adoption of the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2018. This study uses content analysis to examine CRS’s education-related reports from the 115th Congress to explore what sources are directly and indirectly informing federal policymaking based on references in CRS reports. Findings offer insights into research utilization in the federal education policy process and contribute to the growing literature on intermediary organizations and knowledge brokering.

The project's overarching goals are to improve the knowledge and understanding of school safety and violence, and to enhance school safety programs through rigorous social and behavioral science research. This research project will meet these goals by implementing and evaluating a restorative justice school safety initiative that: 1) reduces bullying perpetration and victimization, aggression, and violence, 2) enhances school safety and mental health in middle and high school students, and 3) reduces the school to prison pipeline by diverting first offenders from the juvenile justice system into Teen Courts. In meeting this objective, we will implement and evaluate an innovative school safety initiative that includes a comprehensive school-based needs assessments using the School Success Profile-Plus (SSP+) student reporting system. In addition, Teen Courts will be implemented in schools to emphasize restorative justice, keep first time offenders out of the juvenile justice system, and reduce the school to prison pipeline. We will evaluate the efficacy of this restorative justice initiative for promoting school safety and reducing violence, by conducting a rigorous experimental trial of 24 middle- and high-schools that are randomly selected to either conduct SSP+ assessments and receive school-based Teen Courts (n=12) or to conduct SSP+ assessments without Teen Court programming (n=12).

The climate station at the Macon Middle School near Franklin, NC was established in February 2000. The objectives were to: 1) locate a climate station outside of the Coweeta Basin, but within Macon County, North Carolina, measuring air temperature, air humidity, precipitation, solar radiation, wind speed, wind direction, vapor pressure, and barometric pressure 2) provide students and teachers at the school with a unique teaching tool, and 3) provide the public with an online archive of weather data.

This data collection contains information gathered to evaluate certain activities of a number of organizations dedicated to the advancement of law-related education (LRE) in elementary, junior high, and senior high schools. The organizations whose activities were evaluated were (1) the Constitution Rights Foundation, (2) Law in a Free Society, (3) the National Street Law Institute, (4) the American Bar Association's Special Committee on Youth Education for Citizenship, (5) the Children's Legal Rights Information and Training Program, and (6) the Phi Alpha Delta Committee for Juvenile Justice. The evaluation research dealt primarily with two types of issues: (1) the degree of increase in awareness of and receptivity toward LRE among the nation's educators, juvenile justice, and other related professionals, as well as the degree of institutionalization of LRE in certain targeted states (i.e., California, Michigan, and North Carolina), and (2) the degree to which LRE could produce changes in students' knowledge of and attitudes about the law, and reduce juvenile delinquency (measured both by self-reported delinquency rates and by attitudes previously shown to be correlated with delinquent behavior). In 1981 (Part 1) and again in 1982 (Part 2), questionnaires were mailed to a sample of professionals in state educational organizations as well as to elementary and secondary school principals, juvenile justice specialists, juvenile and family court judges, police chiefs, and law school deans. Respondents were asked whether they had heard of the various projects, what they thought of LRE in terms of its impact on students and usefulness in the curriculum, whether LRE should be required, what type of publicity had contributed to their awareness of LRE, and the degree of involvement they would be willing to have in promoting or developing LRE programs. In a second component of the study, primary and secondary school students were selected for an impact evaluation of the LRE activities run by the six organizations under evaluation. Questionnaires were administered to students during academic years 1982-1983 (Part 3) and 1983-1984 (Part 4), before and after participating in LRE courses offered by the programs under evaluation. Control students (not taking LRE courses) were also used for the comparisons. The questionnaires tested the knowledge, attitudes (measuring such factors as isolation from school, delinquent peer influence, negative labeling, and attitudes toward violence), and self-reported delinquency of school children. Demographic information collected about the student respondents includes sex, age, race, grade in school, and grade-point average.

In Spring 2013, Christy Byrd and two graduate student researchers interviewed Black students at a predominantly Black school in an urban area in Michigan. Participants were first in a focus group and then completed an individual interview 2-3 weeks later. In the focus group, participants were asked to describe how people at school got along across racial and cultural lines and what they learned about race and culture. In the individual interview, they were asked if they had thought of anything else since the focus group and what it was like being a Black student at the school. The participants were paid $10 for each interview and selected their own pseudonyms.

According to state data, the school is 84% non-Hispanic Black or African American and 14% Hispanic. About 85% of the school’s students were eligible for free or reduced lunch. The school served about 800 students in grades 7 through 12. Demographic information for staff indicated that 28% of teachers and 64% of administrators were African American; 59% of teachers and 27% of administrators were White; 4% of teachers and 0% of administrators were Hispanic/Latino.

In recent years, student surveys have played an increasingly large role in educational research, policy making, and, particularly, accountability efforts. However, research on the accuracy of students’ self-reports about themselves and their education is limited to analyses of overall grade point average and ACT/SAT standardized test scores. Using a unique data set, we investigate the accuracy of students’ survey responses to questions about their course taking and grades in mathematics during high school. We then analyze which student and survey characteristics influence accuracy. We find that students are reasonably good reporters of course-taking patterns but poor reporters of more potentially sensitive questions, including when the student completed Algebra I and the grade earned in the course. We find that lack of accuracy in student survey reports is consistently related to several student characteristics. Please note: All data for the study comes from HSLS:09 Restricted Use Data Files (RUF). To obtain the HSLS:09 RUF from NCES, see the following: https://nces.ed.gov/pubsearch/licenses.asp

Despite many innovative ideas generated in response to COVID-19, few studies have examined community preferences for these ideas. Our study aimed to determine university community members’ preferences for three novel ideas identified through a crowdsourcing open call at the University of North Carolina (UNC) for making campus safer in the pandemic, as compared to existing (i.e. pre-COVID-19) resources. An online survey was conducted from March 30, 2021 – May 6, 2021. Survey participants included UNC students, staff, faculty, and others. The online survey was distributed using UNC’s mass email listserv and research directory, departmental listservs, and student text groups. Collected data included participant demographics, COVID-19 prevention behaviors, preferences for finalist ideas vs. existing resources in three domains (graduate student supports, campus tours, and online learning), and interest in volunteering with finalist teams. In total 437 survey responses were received from 228 (52%) staff, 119 (27%) students, 78 (18%) faculty, and 12 (3%) others. Most participants were older than age 30 years (309; 71%), women (332, 78%), and white (363, 83.1%). Five participants (1%) were gender minorities, 66 (15%) identified as racial/ethnic minorities, and 46 (10%) had a disability. Most participants preferred the finalist idea for a virtual campus tour of UNC’s lesser-known history compared to the existing campus tour (52.2% vs. 16.0%). For graduate student supports, 41.4% of participants indicated no preference between the finalist idea and existing supports; for online learning resources, the existing resource was preferred compared to the finalist idea (41.6% vs. 30.4%). Most participants agreed that finalists’ ideas would have a positive impact on campus safety during COVID-19 (81.2%, 79.6%, and 79.2% for finalist ideas 1, 2 and 3 respectively). 61 (14.1%) participants indicated interest in volunteering with finalist teams. Together these findings contribute to the development and implementation of community-engaged crowdsourced campus safety interventions during COVID-19. Methods An online survey was distributed to members of the UNC Chapel Hill community using multiple digital strategies, including a mass informational email system (UNC’s Mass Mail system), circulation on 12 departmental listservs, UNC GroupMe text messages, and the Research For Me @ UNC database. Survey responses were collected via a Qualtrics survey form. Survey responses were collected online from March 30, 2021 to May 6, 2021. Survey participants completed electronic informed consent prior to answering the survey. All survey response data collected from participants were compiled using Microsoft Excel. Data collected include demographic information of participants, questions about COVID-19-related behaviors, and preferences for crowdsourced strategies for enhancing campus safety during the pandemic vs. existing comparable resources at UNC.

This Zenodo repository contains data used in the Triangle Travel Survey shopping analysis project, funded by the STRIDE UTC. Due to privacy concerns, the original data cannot be reproduced here (qualified researchers can contact the Institute for Transportation Research and Education at NC State to request access). This repository contains aggregated outputs that may be useful for some further analyses. Most files include our preferred marginal distance approach, as well as values calculated using the "shopping destination" method wherein the lengths of trips going to stores are summed, and the "round-trip" method where all shopping is assumed to generate round trips. In the previous version, the round-trip method means reported here did not remove households with the longest trip more than 100 miles, as is done in the topline results, but this has been corrected.

There is a duality of trust in participatory science (citizen science) projects in which the data produced by volunteers must be trusted by the scientific community and participants must trust the scientists who lead projects. Facilitator organizations can diversify recruitment and broaden learning outcomes. We investigated the degree to which they can broker trust in participatory science projects. In Crowd the Tap, we recruited participants through partnerships with facilitators, including high schools, faith communities, universities, and a corporate volunteer program. We compared data quality (a proxy for scientists’ trust in the project) and participant privacy preferences (a proxy for participants’ trust in the project leaders) across the various facilitators as well as to those who came to the project independently (unfacilitated). In general, we found that data quality differed based on the project’s level of investment in the facilitation partner in terms of both time and money. We also found that demographic characteristics, rather than facilitation, was most important in predicting privacy preferences. Ultimately our results reveal several tradeoffs that project leaders and facilitators should weigh when deciding to work together. Methods The data was collected through an IRB approved survey in which Crowd the Tap participants submitted data on the types of pipes they had, the age of their home, water aesthetics, and demographic information. As part of this process, participants also indicated if they came to the project through a partner organization (what we call facilitator organizations). Using the data available to us, we determined how completely, accurately, and informatively (understandability) they participated in the project to assess data quality. We also asked if they had interest in being publically associated with the project or if they referred to remain private. We used this and the number of times they selected "Prefer not to say" as indicators of privacy. We compared data quality and privacy preferences to the facilitator organization through which they came to the project.

This is an investigation of a cohort of high school-aged youth in Columbia, South Carolina. Surveys were conducted in three consecutive years from 1979 to 1981 in nine high schools. Students were interviewed for the first time at the beginning of their sophomore year in high school. An identical questionnaire was given to the same students when they were in the 11th and 12th grades. The longitudinal data contain respondents' demographic and socioeconomic characteristics, educational aspirations, occupational aims, and peer group activities. Also included is information on offenses committed, the number of times respondents were caught by the police, their attitudes toward deviancy, and perceived certainty of punishment.
