.@RappaportInstit is pleased to release its latest study -- "Increasing Diversity in Boston's Exam Schools" here -- ow.ly/Ozx030m3yPd -- as featured in @BostonGlobe -- ow.ly/SspL30m3yQ6 #bospoli #mapoli #bps #boston

Almost all districts use data in building their district improvement plans, but only about half refer to outside research. By far the most common way they are exposed to research is through their professional associations. –@cahedberg, @rappaportinstitute fellow

13% of MA students are chronically absent (miss 10% or more days of school each year). These students are twice as likely to be economically disadvantaged and to have changed schools during the year. –Michael Ho, @rappaportinstitute fellow
