A union was performed to align boundaries between school levels, but in some cases the distance between boundaries was too large to move without confirmation from the district. School feeder 'slivers' remain in these areas. This data is provided 'as is'. GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the original data layer's topology |
The map only includes information provided by the district. Every effort was made to ensure that all populated areas were covered by school boundaries, but in some instances 'Unassigned' polygons cover populated Census blocks. This data is provided 'as is' by GeoPlan and is complete to our knowledge. The following Florida school districts did not participate in the 2013-2014 School Attendance Boundary Survey, and therefore are not represented in this dataset: Bradford, Calhoun, Clay, Dixie, Gadsden, Gilchrist, Gulf, Hendry, Jackson, Monroe, Nassau, Putnam, Suwannee. See the SABS documentation for more details: http://nces.ed.gov/programs/sabs/content/sabs/2015118.pdf |
GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the attribute information within the original data. |

The School Attendance Boundary Survey (SABS) Geodatabase is designed to improve the quality and accessibility of educational geography and tabular data to school personnel, researchers, and policy makers. A primary goal is to integrate diverse spatial information delineating school attendance boundaries into a single, uniform, digital GIS database that will result in an original, geographically rich data set. Every school catchment area has a uniform data structure and a unique identification number that associates it with the appropriate school. This tandardized identifying information will allow users to analyze thousands of geographic features collected and distributed by NCES-saving individual researchers the necessity of collecting and organizing these data in a piece-meal fashion. By providing the public with a mapping system that contains detailed boundary information on all public schools across the nation, it will become possible for school personnel, researchers, and policy makers to examine relationships between schools in the same district or across the nation. Using this information can raise awareness of the number of students in areas hit by natural disasters and could aid relief and planning efforts by the Department of Homeland Security. |

The SABS dataset is intended for research purposes only and reflects a single snapshot in time. School boundaries frequently change from year to year. To verify legal descriptions of boundaries, users must contact the school district directly. |
The Florida Geographic Data Library is a collection of Geospatial Data compiled by the University of Florida GeoPlan Center with support from the Florida Department of Transportation. GIS data available in FGDL is collected from various state, federal, and other agencies (data sources) who are data stewards, producers, or publishers. The data available in FGDL may not be the most current version of the data offered by the data source. University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no guarantees about the currentness of the data and suggests that data users check with the data source to see if more recent versions of the data exist. Furthermore, the GIS data available in the FGDL are provided 'as is'. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no warranties, guaranties or representations as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of the data provided by the data sources. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no representations or warranties about the quality or suitability of the materials, either expressly or implied, including but not limited to any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center shall not be liable for any damages suffered as a result of using, modifying, contributing or distributing the materials. A note about data scale: Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale datasets are not suitable for some project, analysis, or modeling purposes. Please be sure you are using the best available data. 1:24000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the county level. 1:24000 data should NOT be used for high accuracy base mapping such as property parcel boundaries. 1:100000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the multi-county or regional level. 1:125000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the regional or state level or larger. Vector datasets with no defined scale or accuracy should be considered suspect. Make sure you are familiar with your data before using it for projects or analysis. Every effort has been made to supply the user with data documentation. For additional information, see the References section and the Data Source Contact section of this documentation.
