GAO reviews alternative commodity donations
1987
An excerpted report prepared by the US General Accounting Office (GAO) addresses alternatives to commodity donations for the school lunch program derived from a USDA demonstration project. The GAO report finds that: labor, and food transportation and storage costs may be overstated; the methodology used to sample school districts for participation in the project affects the generalization and validity of the study results; and that the USDA sample size (96 school districts) does not constitute a statistically valid sample from which to confidently draw conclusions and generalizations. It was concluded that many of the weaknesses and limitations of the study were inherent and could not have been eliminated by USDA.(wz)
