2004-2005 NSLP Data Available on PDE Website
Message Posted January 13, 2005
The PDE Bureau of Food and Nutrition has just released the raw National
School Lunch Data that was submitted by schools to PDE in October 2004.
The data can be found on the PA E-rate webpages under the Discount
Calculations section or directly at:
http://www.pde.state.pa.us/ed_tech/lib/ed_tech/2004-05_NSLP_Data.xls
As in previous years, the data is in an Excel spreadsheet, listed in county
order, then alpha order. To find the entity you want, I suggest you just do
a 'save as' to a file on your hard drive. Then open with Excel and do a
'find.'
I also took the first district in the file and calculated their District's
Shared E-rate Discount as an example. When you file online, however, the
system automatically does these calculations for you.
Note: When the SLD's PIA staff reviews your applications, particularly your
Block 4 discount calculations, they use this data. Therefore you may want
to double check that the data that you submit matches the data listed on
this spreadsheet. Certainly, if you have other data, you can use it (such
as from an income survey or more recent NSLP data), but you should expect a
call from the PIA staff requesting thorough documentation as to why the
figures do not match what was submitted to the State.
If you have any questions about your NSLP information, contact Sandy Souder
in
the Bureau of Food and Nutrition 800-331-0129, Ext. 76833.
If you have any questions about calculating your E-rate discounts, please
don't hesitate to contact me at jtschell@comcast.net.
