Item Staying in the Neighborhood: Examining Distance to Zoned Schools and Access to Transportation(Kinder Institute for Urban Research, 2023) Molina, Mauricio; Baumgartner, Erin; Bao, KatharineThe Houston Independent School District's current busing policy states that students are eligible for transportation services to and from their zoned school if they reside two or more miles from that school. Within the context of HISD’s transportation policy, this brief aimed to better understand how a student's proximity to a zoned school and access to district-funded transportation impacted whether students opted to attend their zoned school or a different school.Item Study on Social and Emotional Skills(Kinder Institute for Urban Research, 2023) Ying, Ming; Szabo, Julia; Baumgartner, Erin; Kinder Institute for Urban ResearchThe Study of Social and Emotional Skills (SSES) is an international effort led by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). The Houston Independent School District (HISD) served as the only U.S. site for this study. Over 6,400 10-year-old and 15-year-old students from 119 HISD schools participated in the SSES in the fall of 2019. This series of briefs looks at how social and emotional skills are related to academic outcomes, absenteeism, and exclusionary discipline; the context of SSES skills; and the commonalities and differences between students’ self-ratings and teachers’ ratings of students’ SE skills.
