You
are welcome to conduct research using data from the New York City
public schools.
The
New York City public school system, the largest and most complex
in the nation, has much to offer educational researchers. We are
eager to open our doors to researchers from outside our school system,
while insuring that investigations do not compromise the privacy
of our students and their parents, or disrupt the work of students,
teachers, and administrators.
Please contact DAA directly to discuss your research proposals.
