Definitions:
In 1988, the Colorado General Assembly created the Colorado Preschool Program (CPP) to serve the young children in Colorado who were most vulnerable to starting grade school unprepared. The legislature responsibly recognized that providing quality early childhood education would ultimately curb dropout rates, help children achieve their full potential, reduce dependence on public assistance, and decrease susceptibility to criminal activities (22-28-102 C.R.S.). CPP is funded through the Colorado Public School Finance Formula, and is administered under the Public School Finance Unit.
Data Source: Colorado Department of Education.
Footnotes:
Each CPP slot provides a half-day of preschool for one child.
For the 2013-2014 school year, the Colorado General Assembly authorized 20,160 traditional CPP slots but also approved an expansion of CPP through an initiative called Early Childhood At-Risk Enhancement, or ECARE. The ECARE expansion included 3,200 additional slots that districts could use flexibly to meet their needs. The data presented here for the 2013-2014 school year include both the traditional CPP slots, as well as ECARE slots allocated to half-day or full-day preschool. The data do not include ECARE slots allocated to provide a full day of kindergarten.

Definitions:
Number of PK-12 public school students served by the McKinney-Vento Homeless Education Program during the school year based on Colorado school district submissions. The McKinney-Vento Homeless Education Program serves homeless children and youth, which they define as "individuals who lack a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence...; and includes:
- sharing housing due to loss of housing or economic hardship (not due to cultural preference or a desire to save money)
- living in motels, hotels, trailer parks, or camping grounds due to lack of alternative adequate housing.
- living in emergency or transitional housing.
- abandoned in hospitals.
- awaiting foster care.
- living in cars, parks, public spaces, abandoned buildings, substandard housing, or bus or train stations.
- children and youth who have a primary nighttime residence that is a public or private place not designed for or ordinarily used as regular sleeping accommodations.
- migratory children who qualify as homeless because they are living in the circumstances described above.
Data Source:
Colorado Department of Education
Footnotes:
Please note that this indicator is derived only from school or school district records. This does not represent the total number of homeless children and youth in these communities, which would include both those children who were enrolled during the year and those who were not. Additionally, children and youth in homeless situations are difficult to identify for many reasons. High mobility, fear or stigmas, and invisibility of postulations not living in shelters or accessing other service agencies are examples of reported identification barriers. While the data above are based on continual district efforts in identifying students who are homeless, the complexity regarding identification challenges would indicate the actual numbers of students who are homeless in Colorado school districts and counties are most likely higher than those reported.

Definitions:
Starting from 2009-2010, the method Colorado uses to calculate the graduation rate is changing. In the past, early and late graduates were folded into the current graduating class. In the new rate, a student is assigned a graduating class that does not change. These early and late graduates are reflected in 3-year, 5-year, 6-year, and 7-year graduation rates based on their assigned anticipated year of graduation.
Therefore, the major change involves a shift to a four-year “on-time” graduation rate. The shift to the new fourth-year “on –time” graduation rate is being made in order to comply with The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. Under this act, the state of Colorado must move to an accountability system that measures and reports the “on-time” graduation rate. The formula and methodology is based on the National Governors Association (NGA) “Graduation Counts Compact.”

Definitions:
A dropout is defined by Colorado law as a "person who leaves school for any reason, except death, before completion of a high school diploma or its equivalent, and who does not transfer to another public or private school or enroll in an approved home study program."
The dropout rate is calculated by dividing the number of dropouts by a membership base which includes all students who were in membership any time during the year.

Footnotes:
Estimates were not published for 2013.
Advanced Premium Tax Credits through Colorado's health insurance exchange were available beginning in 2013. Therefore, EBNE estimates for APTC are unavailable in years prior to 2013.
From 2012 forward, two policy changes impact the calculations of children who are eligible but not enrolled for Medicaid or CHP+. Therefore, estimates from 2012 on should not be compared with estimates from previous years.
The first policy change addresses the fact that there were different income criteria for two age groups, children below the age of 6 and those between 6 and 18. Removing this "stair step" now means that all children have the same income eligibility standards, regardless of age, as long as they meet documentation requirements. Because of this change, some children who were eligible for CHP+ are now eligible for Medicaid.
The second policy change comes from the Affordable Care Act (ACA), which establishes a new method to determine net income, known as Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI). The new Colorado MAGI eligibility standards, which were used for this analysis, are:
- Children in Medicaid: 0-147 percent of the federal poverty level (FPL);
- Children in CHP+: 148-265 percent FPL.

Definitions:
Uninsured rates based on Colorado Health Institute (CHI) analyses of data from the American Community Surveys (ACS). A child was counted as uninsured if his or her parent reported that the child did not have any form of health insurance at the time at which the ACS questionnaire was administered. CHI applied a method developed by the University of Missouri to apportion ACS geographic strata to Colorado counties in order to yield county-level estimates. Due to several counties being part of the same ACS stratum, uninsured rates will be similar for several rural counties.

Children living in a Census tract considered a "food desert" (Number)

Definitions:
The Healthy Food Financing Initiative (HFFI) Working Group defines a food desert as a low-income census tract where a substantial number or share of residents has low access to a supermarket or large grocery store. To qualify as low-income, census tracts must meet the Treasury Department's New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC) program eligibility criteria. Furthermore, to qualify as a food desert tract, at least 33 percent of the tract's population or a minimum of 500 people in the tract must have low access to a supermarket or large grocery store.
The NMTC program defines a low-income census tract as: any census tract
where (1) the poverty rate for that tract is at least 20 percent, or (2)
for tracts not located within a metropolitan area, the median family
income for the tract does not exceed 80 percent of statewide median
family income; or for tracts located within a metropolitan area, the
median family income for the tract does not exceed 80 percent of the
greater of statewide median family income or the metropolitan area
median family income.
Low access to a healthy food retail outlet is defined as more than 1
mile from a supermarket or large grocery store in urban areas and as
more than 10 miles from a supermarket or large grocery store in rural
areas. The distance to supermarkets and large grocery stores is measured
by the distance between the geographic center of the 1-km square grid
that contains information on the population (number of people and other
characteristics) and the nearest supermarket or large grocery store.
Once the distance to the nearest supermarket or large grocery store is
calculated for each grid cell, the number of people or housing units
more than one mile from a supermarket or large grocery store in urban
tracts (or 10 miles for rural census tracts) is aggregated to the census
tract level. (A census tract is considered rural if the centroid of
that tract is located in an area with a population of less than 2,500,
and all other tracts are considered urban tracts.) If the aggregate
number of people in the census tract with low access is at least 500 or
the percentage of people in the census tract with low access is at least
33 percent, then the census tract is considered a food desert.

The data used for these calculations come from a variety of sources with different collection dates. The analysis cannot be dated with precision.
Footnotes:
Children living in a food-insecure household not located in one of the Census Tracts as defined above, is not counted in the county total.
"0" children in a county means that no Census Tract met the criteria for a food desert in that county and therefore no children were counted.
