Front Door Project

​The Kentucky Department of Education collects geographical coordinates for the front door of each public school in Kentucky. Each year, as part of Earth Day activities, KDE encourages local school administrators to check accuracy for their facilities’ locations using Kentucky’s Commonwealth Map.

At the end of each quarter, based on updates received from districts, KDE provides data to keep the Commonwealth map current. This geographical data is used by public and private entities and is available through Kentucky’s School Report Card, Open House Directory, Kentucky Geoportal and ArcGIS.
