Front Door Project and School Change Requests

​​The Kentucky Department of Education collects geographic coordinates for the primary entrance of each public school in Kentucky to support accurate mapping and public information. As part of an annual Earth Day initiative, KDE asks local school administrators to review and verify the accuracy of their school facility locations using Kentucky’s Commonwealth Map.

KDE updates this information quarterly based on changes reported by districts to ensure statewide mapping data remains current. This geographic data is used by public and private organizations and is available through the Kentucky School Report Card, Open House District and School Directory, KyGovMaps Open Data Portal​​, and ArcGIS. 

Verify school locations

School administrators can use the School Locator Tool to search by school name and verify the geographic coordinates for each facility's primary entrance. Step by step instructions​ are provided to support accurate review and updates.  

School change requests

School administrators can submit school changes, such as adding or closing a school using the online District and School Collection Repository (DASCR) Web application tool. For guidance, visit the School Change Requests webpage.
