Huzzah! They've updated the page and restored all of the previously missing data. I'm guessing the new page was built from a snapshot of the website from a few months ago and data had been updated since then.

[Mike Hollander @hllndr]

@PHLschools Nice update on your open data website. I like that all of your data is in one place.

Is there a reason that some previously available info is no longer available? Missing: individual school grad rates, 24-25 school lists, and 24-25 enrollment information.

Have you seen the updated SDP open data website, @ChalkbeatPHL? It looks nice, but it seems that some data didn't make the migration. https://t.co/3hCRaCHCSr

@PhillyInquirer you did not deliver my Sunday paper, again. This happens about 50% of the time. This time I wasn't even able to use your website to report the missed paper because the drop down list for my problem isn't actually a drop-down list. What is going on?

Hey if you just got hit by a car on your bike on 12th and federal by the school, i chased down the guy who hit you and got a pic of his license plate. Tried finding you after but you had left the scene. Hope this helps.

Happy 3rd birthday, Philly DAO Dashboard. Philly's criminal legal system is better understood b/c of you. You wouldn't be possible without the hard work of many people in the DATA Lab and DAO: https://t.co/8iKzkb1DgX

Thank you! We are very proud of what we have built and continue to update and improve it. We hope to see more transparency among city agencies in the future.

Quick shout out to the people behind the @philadao dashboard. I use this all the time. https://t.co/9nrhBXLIWO

@JohnFPfaff @alexmce @blagojevism This is really enlightening. Are you also planning on looking at cities that chose to elect someone other than a reform DA? I'm thinking of, e.g., San Diego a couple of years ago although I'm sure there are many other examples.

[Wes Weaver @WesWeaver]

@toledomask yes. thing is when you spend this much on hoagies they make you wait 24 hours before giving them to you.

[Mike Hollander @hllndr]

@PHLschools when is the first day of school in fall 2022? I wasn't able to find out on the school district website.

DAO appendix 17 (pg 177) also includes additional relevant information on enforcement of gun possession without a license in Philly and statewide.

After 100 tests I can say that the thing is not random (p < 0.05) and it appears to be biased toward Cow. I could do more observations but I am tired of listening to all of the animals.

@C2AJ @jtashea @pennlaw Thank you, Claudia! We appreciate the kudos. And we still have a lot to do as well.

[Claudia Johnson @C2AJ]

@jtashea I am a fan of what #Philly did in the #DA office w/their focus on #transparency and using #dataanalytics https://t.co/ZHHg5rVIpj led by #MichaelHollander and supported in part by @pennlaw https://t.co/ZHHg5rVIpj My county here does not even report race data-lots of work to do

The third story, https://t.co/QxH1h6x3ax, shows changes that we recently made to our IAC reports to better represent arrest rates. Previously we showed only the most recent month of offenses. Now we look at 6 months of offenses and use a 3 month lag to allow arrests to occur.

[Mike Hollander @hllndr]

This series of data stories by the DATA Lab do an excellent job of getting into the weeds of the data on shootings, arrests, and clearance rates in Philadelphia in a very accessible way.

The second story, https://t.co/ohqTjbEnzQ, shows great toll that low arrest rates for shootings has on Black communities and discusses some potential ways to improve arrest rates. The PPD is already considering implementing one strategy: https://t.co/UMVj46nxgG
