This need not be limited to those who are currently using restricted-use licenses. All researchers can join the call to preserve access to NCES data that helps improve U.S. schooling for children.
AERA has just learned that all restricted-use NCES data licenses will be cancelled, possibly as early as March 20. We urgently request that all AERA members and others in the research community with restricted-use licenses take these two actions: www.aera.net/Research-Pol...

Been sheltering in place with my undergrad students for the last 3+ hours as police search the campus. They eventually turned to a Glee, Pitch Perfect, Fleetwood Mac, and Beatles sing-along. The kids are alright. But the kids are not alright.
