[Selected tidbits. See the full online bulletin for more.]
Fact of the Day
Housing Features, Amenities, Finance, and More in 2005 American Housing Survey
In 2005, the nation's homes numbered 124,377,000. Of these 108 million were occupied units. Almost 98.8 million of all units were in metro areas; those in the suburbs (59.0 million) outnumbered those in central cities (35.8 million). Water came from a public utility or private company in the case of 108 million units; wells supplied water for 15.4 million. For 10.6 million the water from the primary source was not safe to drink.
These findings come from the newly released U.S. summary report on the American Housing Survey (AHS). The AHS has data on many more housing topics than the census or the American Community Survey. It is a particularly important source of data on housing conditions: sagging roofs, holes in the floor, sloping walls, broken or boarded up windows, exposed wiring, major street repairs needed, proximity of vandalized buildings, or accumulations of trash - the survey has information on these and other topics.
The Census Bureau conducts the survey on behalf of the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) so be sure to check out HUD User site as well as the Census Bureau's AHS site.
Hot Tip
American Community Survey: First Release of 2005 Data
Look for the first release of 2005 data from the American Community Survey (ACS) in August. The initial release of data will include social and demographic characteristics (age, sex, race, Hispanic origin) for the nation, all 50 states and the District of Columbia, every congressional district and all counties and places with populations of 65,000 or more. At the end of August, economic characteristics will be disseminated in conjunction with the Census Bureau's annual release of income, poverty and health insurance data. In early October, housing characteristics data will be released, and finally, in November, selected population profiles with data by race, Hispanic origin and ancestry will be released. Comparable data from the Puerto Rico Community Survey also will be released following the same schedule.

Final Draft Report Now Available:
Our Cultural Commonwealth: The final report of the American Council of Learned Societies Commission on Cyberinfrastructure for the Humanities & Social Sciences
“Cyberinfrastructure” is more than just hardware and software, more than bigger computer boxes and wider pipes and wires connecting them. The term was coined by NSF to describe the new research environments in which high-performance computing tools are available to researchers in a shared network environment…Of course, scholarship already has an infrastructure: that infrastructure consists of the libraries, archives, and museums that preserve information; the bibliographies, finding aids, and concordances that make that information retrievable; the journals and university presses that distribute the information; and the editors, librarians, archivists, and curators who link the operation of this structure to the scholars who use it. This infrastructure was built over centuries, with the active participation of scholars. The report, available now in final draft form, will appear in final form in the fall, 2006.

NCES Newsflash: NEW NCES REPORT! - The Postsecondary Educational Experiences of High School Career and Technical Education Concentrators: Selected Results From the NELS:88/2000 Postsecondary Education Transcript Study
This report presents information on the postsecondary educational experiences of students from the high school class of 1992 who concentrated in career and technical education (CTE) while in high school, including their postsecondary enrollment, coursetaking, and degree attainment patterns. The report also describes the extent to which high school CTE concentrators pursued the same field at the postsecondary level. Using data from students’ secondary transcripts collected as part of the National Education Longitudinal Study (NELS:88/2000), analyses reveal that about 20 percent of 1992 high school seniors were CTE concentrators. Of those students, roughly one-quarter were dual concentrators, completing both a CTE and college preparatory curriculum. NELS:88/2000 also collected students’ postsecondary transcripts. These data show that by 2000, the majority of CTE concentrators from the class of 1992 had enrolled in postsecondary education. More than half of these students began their postsecondary education at a community college, while 37 percent began at a 4-year institution, and 7 percent at another type of institution. Of the high school CTE concentrators who enrolled in a postsecondary institution, 50 percent earned a postsecondary certificate or degree by 2000, while 26 percent earned a bachelor’s or higher degree. About half of CTE concentrators who enrolled in a postsecondary institution earned postsecondary credits in a related field and 27 percent earned 12 or more credits in a related field, roughly the equivalent of one semester of full-time postsecondary study. About 30 percent of high school CTE concentrators who earned a postsecondary degree or certificate did so in a related field.

NCES Newsflash: New NAEP Report Comparing Private and Public Schools Now Available!
"Comparing Private Schools and Public Schools Using Hierarchical Linear Modeling" is a new study using National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) results. This study examines mean NAEP reading and mathematics score differences between public and private schools when selected characteristics of students and/or schools were taken into account using hierarchical linear modeling (HLM). Among the student characteristics considered were gender, race/ethnicity, disability status, and identification as an English language learner. Among the school characteristics considered were school size and location, and composition of the student body and of the teaching staff. In particular, if the student populations enrolled in the two types of schools differed systematically with respect to background characteristics related to achievement, then those differences would be confounded with straightforward comparisons between school types. When school means were adjusted in the HLM analysis, the average for public schools was significantly higher than the average for private schools for grade 4 mathematics, while the average for private schools was significantly higher than the average for public schools for grade 8 reading. The average differences in adjusted school means for both grade 4 reading and grade 8 mathematics were not significantly different from zero.

NCES Newsflash: NEW NCES REPORT! - Arts Instruction of Public School Students in the First and Third Grades
This Issue Brief uses the First- and Third-Grade Spring Teacher Questionnaires of the ECLS-K to examine the changes over time from first to third grade in how often young children are exposed to arts education in the general classroom. The Brief also looks at differences in these characteristics by level of poverty and/or urbanicity of the school. In both first and third grade, most public school students received weekly instruction in music and art at least weekly, while weekly instruction in dance and theater occurred less often within each year. About 32 percent of students in high poverty public schools never received theater instruction in either grade compared with 24 percent of students in low poverty public schools. Of the students who received music instruction in either first or third grade, 29 percent of students in urban public schools received weekly music instruction less often in third grade than in first compared with 20 percent of students in suburban public schools and 22 percent in rural public schools.
