APPENDIX P. APEC III SFA SAMPLE SELECTION MEMO

1. Introduction and Overview
The sampling plan for APEC III is designed to develop a sample of school food authorities (SFAs)
and schools for data collection and analyses to produce nationally representative estimates of error
rates, for National School Lunch Program (NSLP) and School Breakfast Program (SBP) separately,
that are fully compliant with IPERA requirements. These NSLP and SBP estimates will be based on
data collected in School Year 2017-2018. The primary statistical goal is to provide precise estimates
of error rates for the program by source. To achieve this goal, a multistage stratified probability
sampling design will be utilized to select students for the study where (a) the first-stage sampling
units (FSUs) are comprised of a nationally representative sample of SFAs, (b) the second-stage
sampling units (SSUs) are comprised of stratified samples of schools within SFAs, and (c) the thirdstage sampling units (TSUs) are comprised of samples of students (households) within schools. The
sampling plan will be similar to the general multi-stage sampling approach used in APEC I and II,
but with an increased focus on Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) SFAs and schools to reflect
the recent growth in the use of the CEP by SFAs. Because the process by which certification occurs
differs between CEP and non-CEP schools, schools that have elected to participate in CEP will be
sampled separately from the others. We will divide SFAs into those with no CEP schools and those
with at least one CEP school. Among SFAs with at least one CEP school, we will sample both CEP
schools and non-CEP schools. It is necessary to sample both CEP and non-CEP schools from the
SFAs with at least one CEP school (referred to henceforth as CEP SFAs) to ensure that the school
sample is nationally representative1.
For the purposes of sample selection, the optimal allocation of the SFA sample between the two
types of SFAs should reflect the corresponding numbers of students who are eligible to be included
(i.e., “students whose eligibility status will be independently assessed”) in APEC III. For the nonCEP SFAs, the number of eligible students is essentially equal to the number of students who are
certified for free/reduced price meals. For those CEP SFAs consisting solely of CEP schools, the
number of eligible students is equal to the number of students ‘certified’ for free/reduced priced
meals. Specifically, this is the enrollment of the school multiplied by the ISP multiplied by 1.6 For
those CEP SFAs consisting of both CEP and non-CEP schools, the number of eligible students is
equal to the number of students ‘certified’ for free/reduced priced meals in the CEP schools plus
the number of students certified for free/reduced price meals in the non-CEP schools. Thus,
although only 17 percent of SFAs have elected CEP as of September 2015, they account for over 40

When all schools in an SFA are participating in CEP, we will only select CEP schools. This may increase the number of
non-CEP schools selected from other CEP SFAs.

APPENDIX P. APEC III SFA SAMPLE SELECTION MEMO

percent of the students that are eligible to be sampled for APEC III. To reflect the relative sizes of
the two types of SFAs, we have distributed the proposed sample of 275 responding SFAs as follows:
155 non-CEP SFAs and 120 CEP SFAs. Within the selected SFAs, we will sample 353 schools from
the non-CEP SFAs and 272 schools from the CEP SFAs (of which an estimated 187 will be CEP
schools, and 85 will be non-CEP schools). Table 1-1 summarizes the distribution of SFAs,
associated numbers of students, and the sample sizes proposed for APEC III. The procedures used
to select the first-stage sample of SFAs are given in this report. Details about the subsequent
selection of schools will be provided in a forthcoming report.

2. Sample Frame Construction
The following sections describe the construction of the SFA sampling frame (i.e., universe list) used
to select SFAs for APEC III. Section 2.1 summarizes the data sources used to create the sampling
frame, and Sections 2.2 and 2.3 describe procedures used to update a small number of erroneous
data elements in the FNS-742 file, and to assign (impute) an appropriate measure of size to CEP
SFAs for which such data required for sampling was missing. Some descriptive statistics on the final
sampling frame are given in Section 2.4.

2.1

Data Sources

Two data files maintained by the FNS were provided to Westat for sample frame construction.
These included (a) FY15 FNS-742 SFA File (version dated 2-22-2016) and (b) CEP SY15-16
National Elections Data-September 2015 (version dated 3-25-2016). The former contains a list of
the over 19,000 SFAs currently participating in the NSLP/SBP, along with SFA-level information

APPENDIX P. APEC III SFA SAMPLE SELECTION MEMO

such as type of control (public/private), the number of schools and students participating in
NSLP/SBP, the number of students certified for free/reduced price meals, and the number of
schools participating in CEP and the corresponding number of students in the CEP schools. The
latter file contains information for the approximately 3,000 school districts that have elected to
participate in CEP as of September 2015, along with a list of the 18,000 schools participating in the
CEP. Since the National Elections Data file is more current than the FNS-742 file, it was used to
augment the CEP-status information in the FNS-742 file. As a result of combining information on
CEP status from the two data sources, an additional 810 SFAs that had not been classified as such in
the FNS-742 file were reclassified as CEP.

2.2

Sample Frame Updates

First, only those SFAs in the 48 contiguous states and the District of Columbia were kept in the
FNS 742 frame to be consistent with the target population for APEC III. As summarized in Table
2-1, various quality checks were then conducted on selected variables reported by the SFAs in the
frame. Once potential inconsistencies or possible errors were identified, we used the National
Center for Education Statistics (NCES) 2013-14 Common Core of Data (CCD) Local Education
Agency (LEA) data file maintained by NCES as the reference to determine whether there was an
error in the FNS-742 frame data, and updates were made to the frame data if necessary. Details of
the updates made to the FNS-742 data can be found in Appendix A.
Table 2-1.

The duplicate New Mexico SFA IDs were updated using the
new SFA IDs that New Mexico provided to FNS. For the
other duplicate SFAs, unique IDs were created for them.

Total CEP students were set equal to the total enrollment

APPENDIX P. APEC III SFA SAMPLE SELECTION MEMO

Next, we extracted the following data from the most recent National Elections Data file (dated
3/25/2016) and attached them to the SFA records in the FNS 742 frame:


Number of schools in LEA



Total enrollment in LEA



Number of schools participating in CEP



Total enrollment in CEP schools



District-wide claiming percentages



Number of schools participating as part of a group or district



Number of students participating as part of a group or district



Number of distinct school-level ISPs



Number of identified students

When attaching the CEP-related data in the National Elections data file to the corresponding SFA
records in the FNS-742 sampling frame, we first aggregated the school-level data in the National
Elections data file to the LEA level and attached the aggregated data to the LEA records in the
National Elections data file. Since there are no unique SFA identifiers in the National Elections data
file to link to the SFAs in the FNS-742 frame, we used the State and LEA name to match records
between the two files. Details on the matching process can be found in Appendix A.
For sampling purposes, an SFA is considered to be CEP if it satisfies either of the following two
conditions: (a) it is coded as having at least one CEP school in the FNS-742 frame, or (b) it appears
in the National Elections data file as a CEP district and has a matching SFA record in the FNS-742
frame. The latter are considered to be “new” CEP SFAs since the data in the National Elections
data file are expected to be more current. For the new CEP SFAs, the associated number of CEP
schools is missing in the original FNS-742 SFA data record, and was estimated by allocating the total
number of schools reported in the FNS frame to CEP and non-CEP subgroups using the
proportion of schools in the district that are CEP derived from the CEP National Elections data file.
The number of students in CEP schools was also estimated in a similar fashion for the “new” CEP
SFAs.
Finally, SFAs that consist of only Residential Child Care Institutions (RCCIs) or non-CEP SFAs that
do not have any students certified for free or reduced price meals were dropped from the FNS

APPENDIX P. APEC III SFA SAMPLE SELECTION MEMO

frame. There are 1,531 such SFAs, which accounts for about 8% of the total SFAs in the sampling
frame.

2.3

Summary of Final Frame

After making the exclusions and updates described above, 17,854 SFAs were included in the final
sampling frame. Table 2-2 summarizes the numbers of SFAs, schools, and students in the final SFA
sampling frame, where it can be seen that, 2,973 SFAs have at least one CEP school. Although the
CEP SFAs account for only about 17 percent of all SFAs in the frame, they account for a much
greater share of total enrollment (32%) and students certified for free/reduced price lunch (43%).
Among the 93,990 schools associated with the SFAs in the frame, 17,400 (19%) elected CEP.
Among the 50 million students enrolled in schools, 8 million (16%) are enrolled in CEP schools.
Among the 27 million students certified for free or reduced-price meals, 12 million (43%) are in
CEP SFAs.

3. Selection of the non-CEP SFAs
As indicated in Table 1-1, the goal of sampling the non-CEP SFAs is to select a sufficient number of
non-CEP SFAs to obtain approximately 155 “responding” SFAs after losses due to nonresponse.
The first step in the selection process was to identify the “certainty” SFAs. Next, a sufficiently large
sample of the remaining noncertainty SFAs was selected to allow for both a primary sample that
would be sufficient to accommodate an expected 80 percent response rate, and a possible reserve
sample if response rates turn out to be lower. The steps in sample selection are presented below.

APPENDIX P. APEC III SFA SAMPLE SELECTION MEMO

3.1

Certainty Non-CEP SFAs

The certainty SFAs refer to those SFAs that are so large in terms of the number of students certified
for free/reduced price meals that they should be included in the sample with certainty (i.e., not
subject to random sampling). Such SFAs are therefore “self-representing.” For the purpose of
identifying the certainty SFAs, all non-CEP SFAs that otherwise would have a probability of
selection of 0.75 or greater under PPS (probability-proportionate-to-size) sampling were included in
the sample with certainty. With a target sample size of 155 (responding) non-CEP SFAs, this
criterion corresponds to a certainty cutoff for SFAs of
𝑛𝑜𝑛𝐶𝐸𝑃
𝐶𝑐𝑒𝑟𝑡
= 0.75 𝑀𝑛𝑜𝑛𝐶𝐸𝑃 /155,

where 𝑀𝑛𝑜𝑛𝐶𝐸𝑃 = the total number of students certified for free/reduced price meals across all nonCEP SFAs. Applying this criterion to the SFAs in the non-CEP sampling frame, the six largest nonCEP SFAs listed in Appendix B were included in the sample with certainty.

3.2

Noncertainty Non-CEP SFAs

𝑛𝑜𝑛𝐶𝐸𝑃
Let 𝑚𝑁𝐶
= (155 - 6)/0.80 = 186.25 denote the expected number of noncertainty SFAs to be
selected to achieve the desired total of 155 responding SFAs. The factor of 0.80 in the computation
𝑛𝑜𝑛𝐶𝐸𝑃
of 𝑚𝑁𝐶
compensates for an assumed 80% response rate among the noncertainty SFAs. Because
of their relative importance in the sample, a 100 percent response rate is assumed for the 6 certainty
SFAs. To allow for a possible reserve sample, we specified twice the required number of SFAs to
𝑛𝑜𝑛𝐶𝐸𝑃
sample initially, i.e.. 2 𝑚𝑁𝐶
.
𝑛𝑜𝑛𝐶𝐸𝑃
To select the 2 𝑚𝑁𝐶
noncertainty SFAs, we sorted the frame of non-CEP SFAs by (a) the seven

FNS Regions, (b) type of control (public/private) within region, (c) three broad enrollment size
classes (<1,000, 1,000 to 9,999 and 10,000+) within type of control, and (d) by the sampling MOS
(number of students certified for free/reduced price meals) alternating from high-to-low and then
low-to-high from cell to cell. The SFAs were selected systematically and with probabilities
proportionate to the MOS from the sorted file.

APPENDIX P. APEC III SFA SAMPLE SELECTION MEMO

𝑛𝑜𝑛𝐶𝐸𝑃
Of the 2 𝑚𝑁𝐶
noncertainty SFAs, a random systematic half sample was designated as the
“primary” sample, and the remaining half sample was designated as a “reserve” sample. The reserve
sample will be set aside for later use if it appears that the primary sample will not yield the desired
number of responding SFAs. Because they are self-representing, there will be no reserve samples for
the certainty SFAs. Table 3-1 summarizes the distribution of the non-CEP SFA sample by FNS
region and sample-status.

Non CEP SFA Schools

In the second-stage of sampling, a total of 353 responding schools will be selected from the 155
responding SFAs. The selection of schools will be done after the participating SFAs have confirmed
and verified their lists of schools to Westat for sampling. The number of schools to be selected from
the six certainty SFAs will be proportional to their respective measures of size. The certainty SFAs
(both CEP and non-CEP) are essentially strata, and not first-stage sampling units. Thus, the number
schools to be selected from them will be proportional to the size of the SFA, and not necessarily be
constrained to be 3 or less. Thus, very large SFAs such as NYC or LA may have more than 3
schools selected from them. To select the remaining schools from the noncertainty SFAs, those
noncertainty SFAs consisting of three or more schools will be randomly assigned to one of two
subgroups, A and B. For those SFAs assigned to group A, three schools will be selected per SFA.
For those SFAs assigned to group B, only one school will be selected per SFA. The proportions of
noncertainty SFAs to be assigned to the two groups remain to be determined after the school lists
have been returned to Westat. Note that the assignment to the two subgroups will not apply to
SFAs with fewer than three schools. In these SFAs, only one school will be subsampled. The goal
will be to the split the sampled SFAs into the A and B groups in such a way as to yield the desired

APPENDIX P. APEC III SFA SAMPLE SELECTION MEMO

353 responding schools. Because they are self-representing, the assignment to the A and B
subgroups will not be done for the certainty SFAs.

4. Selection of the CEP SFAs
The approach to selecting the CEP SFAs is generally similar to that described previously for the
non-CEP SFAs, but with the added complication that both CEP and non-CEP schools will be
sampled from the selected SFAs. As specified in Table 1-1, the goal is to select a sufficient number
of CEP SFAs to obtain 120 “responding” SFAs.

4.1

Certainty CEP SFAs

The first step was to construct an appropriate composite sampling measure of size for each CEP
SFA in the sampling frame. This measure of size is a weighted combination of (a) the number of
students certified for free/reduced price meals in the non-CEP schools in the SFA and (b) the
identified students multiplied by 1.6, or total enrollment of the schools if the former is greater than
the total enrollment in the CEP schools in the SFA. For the 2,973 CEP SFAs in the sampling frame,
the composite sampling measure of size, CEPMOS, was computed as:
CEPMOS = 𝑓 𝐶𝐸𝑃 * 𝑀1 + 𝑓 𝑛𝑜𝑛𝐶𝐸𝑃 * 𝑀2
where 𝑓 𝐶𝐸𝑃 and 𝑓 𝑛𝑜𝑛𝐶𝐸𝑃 are composite weighting factors that are proportional to the overall rates
at which students in the CEP schools and non-CEP schools, respectively, will be sampled from the
CEP SFAs. Since the goal is to sample a total of 4,488 (responding) students from the CEP schools
and 935 (responding) students certified for free/reduced price meals from the non-CEP schools, we
computed the required weighting factors as: 𝑓 𝐶𝐸𝑃 = 4,488 / 𝑁 𝐶𝐸𝑃 and 𝑓 𝑛𝑜𝑛𝐶𝐸𝑃 = 935 / 𝑁 𝑛𝑜𝑛𝐶𝐸𝑃 ,
where 𝑁 𝐶𝐸𝑃 and 𝑁 𝑛𝑜𝑛𝐶𝐸𝑃 are estimates of the number of students in CEP schools and students
certified for free/reduced price meals in non-CEP schools, respectively2.

2

The values of the factors used to compute the composite measure of size were 𝑓 𝐶𝐸𝑃 = .000566612 and 𝑓 𝑛𝑜𝑛𝐶𝐸𝑃 =
.000329577, respectively. For a discussion of the use of this type composite measure of size for sampling purposes, see
Folsom, R., Potter, F., Williams, S., (1987), Notes on a composite size measure for selfweighting samples in multiple domains.
Proceedings of the Survey Methods Research Section, American Statistical Association, 792-796.

APPENDIX P. APEC III SFA SAMPLE SELECTION MEMO

Next, the certainty cutoff for the CEP SFAs was computed as:
𝐶𝐸𝑃
𝐶𝑐𝑒𝑟𝑡
= 0.75 𝑀𝐶𝐸𝑃 /120,

where 𝑀𝐶𝐸𝑃 = the sum of CEPMOS of all CEP SFAs in the frame.
Using the cutoff computed above, a total of 17 certainty CEP SFAs were initially identified. In
addition, 6 large CEP SFAs with a MOS close to the certainty cutoff were also included with
certainty. The 23 certainties are listed in Appendix B.

4.2

Noncertainty CEP SFAs

𝐶𝐸𝑃
Let 𝑚𝑁𝐶
= (120 - 23)/0.80 = 121 denote the expected number of noncertainty SFAs to be sampled to
𝐶𝐸𝑃
achieve the desired total of 120 responding SFAs. The factor of 0.80 in the computation of 𝑚𝑁𝐶
compensates for an assumed 80% response rate among the noncertainty SFAs. Because of their
relative importance in the sample, a 100 percent response rate is assumed for the 23 certainty SFAs.
To allow for a possible reserve sample, we specified twice the required number of noncertainty
𝐶𝐸𝑃
SFAs to sample initially, i.e., 2 𝑚𝑁𝐶
.
𝐶𝐸𝑃
To select the 2𝑚𝑁𝐶
noncertainty SFAs, we sorted the frame of CEP SFAs by (a) the seven FNS
Regions, (b) three broad enrollment size classes (<1,000, 1,000 to 9,999 and 10,000+) within region,
and (c) by CEPMOS alternating from high-to-low and then low-to-high from cell to cell. The SFAs
were selected systematically and with probabilities proportionate to CEPMOS from the sorted file.
𝐶𝐸𝑃
Of the 2𝑚𝑁𝐶
noncertainty SFAs, a random systematic half sample was designated as the “primary”
sample, and the remaining half sample was designated as a “reserve” sample. The reserve sample will
be set aside for later use if it appears that the primary sample will not yield the desired number of
responding SFAs. Because they are self-representing, there will be no reserve samples for the
certainty SFAs. Table 4-1 summarizes the distribution of the CEP SFA sample by FNS region and

sample-status.

In the second-stage of sampling, a total of 272 responding schools will be selected from the 120
responding CEP SFAs. Of the 272 responding schools, 187 will be CEP schools and 85 will be nonCEP schools. The selection of schools will be done after the participating SFAs have submitted their
verified lists of schools to Westat for sampling. The number of schools to be selected from the 23
certainty SFAs will be proportional to their respective measures of size. To select the remaining
schools from the noncertainty SFAs, those noncertainty SFAs with three or more CEP schools will
be randomly assigned to one of two subgroups, A and B. For those SFAs assigned to group A, three
CEP schools will be selected per SFA. For those SFAs assigned to group B, only one CEP school
will be selected per SFA. The goal will be to the split the sampled SFAs into the A and B groups in
such a way as to yield the desired 187 responding CEP schools. The proportions of noncertainty
SFAs to be assigned to the two groups remain to be determined after the school lists have been
returned to Westat. The corresponding sample of 85 non-CEP schools will be distributed across the
entire set of 120 SFAs in a manner designed to avoid sampling more than one non-CEP school
whenever possible. Because they are self-representing, the assignment to the A and B subgroups will
not be done for the certainty SFAs.

First, only those SFAs in the 48 contiguous states and the District of Columbia were kept in the
FNS 742 frame to be consistent with the target population of the APEC study. This left 19,385
SFAs in the frame. Various quality checks (as shown in Table A-1 below) were then conducted on
the frame. Once the potential problematic SFAs were identified, we used the NCES 2013-14

Duplicate SFA IDs within states

The duplicate New Mexico SFA IDs were updated using
the new SFA IDs that New Mexico provided to FNS. For
the other duplicate SFAs, unique IDs were created for
them.

Total CEP students were set equal to the total enrollment

Next, we extracted the following data items from the most recent National Elections Data file
(dated 3/25/2016) and attached them to the FNS 742 frame:


Number of schools in LEA as recorded in “CEP Elections - by LEA” tab.



Total enrollment in LEA as recorded in the “CEP Elections - by LEA” tab.



Number of schools participating in CEP as recorded in “CEP Elections - by LEA” tab.



Total enrollment in CEP schools as recorded in “CEP Elections - by LEA” tab.



District-wide claiming percentages as recorded in “CEP Elections - by LEA” tab.



Number of schools participating as part of a group or district (tabulated from column H
of the “CEP Elections - by School” tab), aggregated to LEA level.

APPENDIX P. APEC III SFA SAMPLE SELECTION MEMO



Number of students participating as part of a group or district (tabulated from column I
of the “CEP Elections - by School” tab), aggregated to LEA level.



Number of distinct school-level ISPs as derived from column G of the “CEP Elections
- by School” tab, aggregated to LEA level.



Number of identified students as derived from columns G and I of the “CEP Elections
- by School” tab. For Kentucky the School tab column M (KY - Reported ISP/1.6) was
used instead of column G. The number of identified students was then aggregated to
LEA level. If this number was missing or 0 for a LEA, it was filled in by multiplying the
LEA enrollment in CEP schools with district wide ISP if available.

Two steps were involved when attaching the CEP-related data. First, relevant data on the schoollevel tab were aggregated to the LEA level and attached to the LEA tab. Second, the LEA tab was
attached to the FNS 742 frame. Updates were made to the LEA ID, LEA name, and ISP rate on the
CEP participation file to address duplicate or missing LEA IDs in several states, correct typos, and
reconcile differences in spellings to facilitate the matching between the school-level tab and LEAlevel tab, and the matching between the CEP participation file and FNS 742 frame. Details on the
updates are given in Subsection A.2.
Finally, the CEP status of SFA was updated by treating an SFA as CEP if it was either on the CEP
participation file, or flagged as CEP on the FNS 742 frame although not on the CEP participation
file. In addition, the total number of CEP schools was updated for SFAs that were new CEPs (i.e.,
SFAs not flagged as CEP on the FNS 742 frame but listed on the CEP participation file) by
allocating the total number of schools on the FNS frame to CEP and non-CEP using the proportion
of CEP schools based on the CEP participation file. e.g., updated number of CEP schools was
computed by multiplying the total number of schools in the SFA (on the FNS frame) by the
proportion of CEP schools in the SFA (from the CEP participation file). Similar updates were also
made to the enrollment in CEP schools.
The old CEP SFAs (i.e., SFAs already flagged as CEP on the FNS 742 frame) were not updated
with the data from the CEP participation file because (a) the data on the FNS frame seemed to be
more accurate (based on comparison with CCD data), and (b) we expect some minor inconsistencies
because the data in the CEP participation file are for LEAs while the data in the FNS frame are for
SFAs. Although the relative difference in total enrollment between the two data sources among the
matching SFAs was only about 4 percent, it was decided to update CEP data for the new CEPs only.
Furthermore, SFAs that consist of only RCCIs or non-CEP SFAs that do not have any students
certified for free or reduced price meals were dropped from the FNS frame, since they do not have

students eligible for APEC III. There are 1,531 such SFAs, which accounts for about 8% of the total
SFAs.

Linking Files
The relevant data on the school tab were aggregated to the LEA level and attached to the LEA tab
using STATE and LEA ID as the linkage. Then the LEA level data of the CEP participation file was
linked to the FNS 742 frame using the following linkages:


STATE and LEA (SFA) NAME for the states where SFA name can uniquely identify
LEAs (SFAs).



STATE and LEA (SFA) ID for the states where multiple LEAs/SFAs have the same
name. These states include: AR, CO, IN, MO, NY, OH, OR, SC, TX, VA, WI, WV.

There are 44 LEAs in the CEP participation file that do not have a match on the FNS frame file (see
Appendix C). They were not added to the FNS frame.
The following updates were made to the CEP file to facilitate the matching with the FNS frame.
