- Abstract:
- These data are school districts selected from 1992 U.S. Census Bureau TIGER files. The data contain a feature dataset of elementary district boundaries and a feature dataset for secondary, or high school, district boundaries. Some school districts are actually unified school districts that operate both elementary and secondary schools. Such districts are included in both the secondary and elementary datasets. There is no information in the layer about which districts are unified districts.
The data include annotation layers for placing the district names on maps.
