February Newsletter

This 1-hour webinar will take an in-depth look at the various ways to define “coverage” when measuring the reach of school meal programs. The answer depends on population parameters, beneficiary definition, meal frequency, and more. In this webinar, we will explore options for constructing this key indicator, hear from a panel of experts, and engage in open discussion.

This event will be of interest to school meal practitioners who engage in monitoring, analysts who work with school meal data, and other stakeholders who track and use information about school meal programs. Participants will emerge with insight into how to understand metrics of school feeding coverage and how to construct and use indicators thoughtfully.
