This project analyzes Colorado Department of Education’s data-collection methods for
institutional procurement. The research questions investigated in this project were aimed at analyzing
how the 2021-2022 Local Food Program data was collected and analyzed by CDE and local partners.
What is the level of detail included in the data, and what is its quality? Further analysis was conducted
on distribution of purchasing and data collection methods between Urban, Rural, and Small-rural school districts. A comprehensive GIS map was created detailing all local producers, food hubs, and distributors that supplied CDE LFP enrolled school districts was compiled and aggregated by amount dollar amount of food provided. The results of this project are hoped to be used to inform data collection strategies for the next year of the LFP program, future policy involving localized institutional procurement, and the rollout of the 2024 universal school meals program.
