Note: Data are drawn from WCPSS administrative records. Math and reading achievement data are available for students in grades 3–8; chronic absenteeism data are for students in all grades in years 2005–2010; suspension data are available for students in all grades and years with administrative data. Effect on Non-reassigned Students in Receiving Schools is estimated as in Equation (1); see Equation (2) for more detail on this variable’s construction. Effect on Non-reassigned Students in Contributing Schools is estimated as in Equation (2); see Equation (3) for more detail on this variable’s construction. Both spillover variables are scaled such that a 1 unit shift represents a 10 percentage point shift in the proportion of reassigned students. All models include controls for student race/ethnicity, gender, special education, and ELL status, effects of reassignment event history, node-by-grade fixed effects, year fixed effects.
