This research investigates design decisions made on 115 state-level dashboards reporting school safety data. Using pre-determined codes drawn from a framework of visualization rhetoric, dashboard characteristics were described and analyzed. Analysis demonstrates that school safety dashboards vary significantly in types of school safety data included as well as how such data are presented. Most dashboards lack specific interpretative text or narration, meaning the messages and stories communicated by dashboards are influenced largely by choices in data included, how it is visually represented, and the interactivity provided to users. The choices craft divergent stories about school safety for dashboard users—including, but not limited to, those that foreground student behavior as the central threat, those that present school practices as problematic, and those that center  \ncommunity creation—which may shape public discourse around school safety. In concert, rhetorical choices reflect different perspectives on safety, students, and schools.

Esta investigación investiga las decisiones de diseñotomadas en 115 paneles a nivel estatal que informan datos de seguridad escolar. Utilizandocódigos predeterminados extraídos de un marco retórico de visualización, se describieron yanalizaron las características del panel. El análisis demuestra que los paneles de seguridad escolar varían significativamente en los tipos de datos de seguridad escolar incluidos, así como en la forma en que se presentan esos datos. La mayoría de los paneles no tienen texto interpretativo ni narración específica, lo que significa que los mensajes y las historias comunicadas por los paneles están influenciados en gran medida por las opciones de los datos incluidos, cómo se representan visualmente y la interactividad proporcionada a los usuarios. Las opciones crean historias divergentes sobre la seguridad escolar para los usuarios del tablero, incluidas, entre otras, aquellas que resaltan el comportamiento de los estudiantes como la amenaza central, aquellas que presentan las prácticas escolares como problemáticas yaquellas que centran la creación de comunidad, que pueden moldear la situación pública. discurso en torno a la seguridad escolar. En conjunto, las opciones retóricas reflejan diferentes perspectivas sobre la seguridad, los estudiantes y las escuelas.  \nPalabras-clave: paneles; seguridad escolar; uso de datos; visualizaciones de datos; paneleseducativos  \nAnálise das características do painel de dados de segurança escolar em nível estadual Resumo: As escolhas feitas em visualizações de dados orientam como os usuários dão sentido às informações apresentadas.
