In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Colorado Department of Education administered the district and charter needs inventory from late March to early April.
Superintendents, BOCES directors, and charter and approved facility school leaders were encouraged to complete the needs inventory to share the needs of schools and districts across the state, including support for learning at home and the general needs of the surrounding community.
The Colorado Education Initiative staff provided data management, analysis, reporting, and follow-up support for the needs inventory effort.Regional analyses of the needs inventory were conducted based on the eight CDE regions.
