and Verification
Collect
boundaries for all 13,000+ U.S.
school districts
Combination
of data collection efforts by
Census and a “group-sourced” mapping
effort
The 2013-2014 school year will serve as a
trial year
13. Census Bureau Tabulations
Block rectification to create publicly available
population counts and related information
These boundaries can be used for custom
tabulations that meet the Census Bureau’s
disclosure policies
Provide population counts at the school
attendance boundary level
Product is not the same boundary lines as
delineated by the districts
14. The Significance of School
Attendance Boundaries
Benefits to the Districts
Benefits to the State
Benefits to social science
15. Moving Forward
Changes will be made to the workflow and
tools based on process reviews and user
feedback
The process will become easier and easier as
more districts use the online collection and
verification tool
