We introduce BPG, a framework for generating publication-quality, highly-customizable plots in the R statistical environment. This open-source package includes multiple methods of displaying high-dimensional datasets and facilitates generation complex multi-panel figures, making it suitable datasets. A web-based interactive tool allows online figure customization, from which code can be downloaded integration with computational pipelines. BPG provides new approach linking scripted data...

This study examines the conflict facing state education officials in reporting adequate yearly progress results required by No Child Left Behind and how those challenges obfuscated transmission of school choice information to parents. To comply with accountability mandates, transformed test scores into performance labels using complicated systems. Then, meet requirements, were explain a way that parents can understand.
