- Abstract:
-
This layer contains school attendance boundaries in Florida for the 2013-14 school year from the School Attendance Boundaries Survey (SABS). SABS is a voluntary survey conducted biennially by the U.S. Department of Education's (ED) National Center for Education Statistics (NCES). These data were collected and processed as part of the School Attendance Boundary Survey (SABS) project which was funded by NCES to create geography delineating school attendance boundaries. Original source information that was used to create these boundary files were collected over a web-based self-reporting system, through e-mail, and mailed paper maps. The web application provided instructions and assistance to users via a user guide, a frequently asked questions document, and instructional videos. Boundaries supplied outside of the online reporting system typically fell into one of six categories: a digital geographic file, such as a shapefile or KML file; digital image files, such as jpegs and pdfs; narrative descriptions; an interactive web map; Excel or pdf address lists; and paper maps. 2013 TIGER/line features (that consist of streets, hydrography, railways, etc.) were used to digitize school attendance boundaries and was the primary source of information used to digitize analog information. This practice works well as most school attendance boundaries align with streets, railways, water bodies and similar line features included in the 2013 TIGER/line "edges" files. In those few cases in which a portion of a school attendance boundary serves both sides of a street, contractor staff used Esri’s Imagery base map to estimate the property lines of parcels. The data digitized from analog maps and verbal descriptions do not conform to cadastral data (and many of the original GIS files created by school districts do not conform with cadastral or parcel data). 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.

- Purpose:
-
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.

- Data_Quality_Information:
-
- Attribute_Accuracy:
-
- Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
-
GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the attribute information within
the original data.
- Logical_Consistency_Report:
-
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
- Completeness_Report:
-
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

Assign, Dissolve, Append, and Join: Brings together the feature class that contains
the school attribute details and updates them with their most current boundaries.
The Dissolve operation is used to extract each level of school boundaries and
transforms them into a multipart polygon. Next, the extracted features are merged
through the Append operation. Since the Dissolve operation will remove the attributes
of the data, a Join operation is performed as the last step to restore these attributes
by joining the merged features with the original multipart school feature class.

The following NCES process steps come from the Documentation for the School Attendance
Boundary Survey (SABS): School Year 2013-2014:
<http://nces.ed.gov/programs/sabs/content/sabs/2015118.pdf>
Processing the School Boundaries:
Image files (paper maps or digital) Paper maps were scanned and saved as jpg files.
Digital image files, such as pdfs, were converted to jpg files using Adobe Acrobat
Pro. The digital images were georeferenced using the 2013 TIGER/Line files
(https://www.census.gov/geo/maps-data/data/tiger-line.html). The boundaries
were then digitized using the georeferenced image. Each school was drawn as a
unique feature. While most school boundaries followed the geographies captured
in the TIGER/Line file, such as roads and railways, this was not always the case.
In instances where the boundaries differed from TIGER/Lines, ESRI’s Imagery base
map was used to identify and ensure that housing units were not intersected. ESRI’s
World Imagery provides 0.3 meter resolution imagery in the continental United States.
Geographic Information System files
GIS files were projected into USA Contiguous Albers Equal Area Conic USGS and
imported into a geodatabase. All processing steps were performed on the school
boundaries while stored in a feature class.
Boundaries drawn using online tool
The online boundary collection tool, known as the School Mapper, allowed school
district personnel to draw school boundaries electronically. The application was
populated with the CCD school data including: the names and locations of the schools
in the district, high and low grade, and school level. The School Mapper was also
pre-populated with boundaries from the SY 2009-10 or SY 2010-11 collections, where
applicable. In these instances, the users were asked to review each boundary and
make necessary updates. Once all boundaries were drawn, the School Mapper
allowed users to save, download or revise their school boundary file. The school
boundary files were saved in a geodatabase.
Attribute Association
School boundaries submitted as shapefiles and other GIS formats were delivered with
a wide variety of attributes and field names. A custom GIS tool was used to incorporate
the attributes provided by the district into the SABS table schema (see Appendix A).
These boundaries were then associated with attributes from the CCD using another
custom GIS tool. Boundaries drawn in the School Mapper did not require the two steps
described above because the school names in the application were pulled directly
from the CCD.
Quality Assurance Procedures for all File Types
After the initial steps listed above, all of the school boundary data were processed
using the following quality assurance steps.
Verify School Completeness by District
The purpose of this step was to identify duplicate, missing, and extra schools within
the school boundary feature class as it compared to the survey universe.
* Identify Duplicate Schools - Each school must be represented by a single feature
in the database. Duplicate features for a single school were merged into one, thus,
saving the largest extent of the duplicated records. In rare instances, a single school
might maintain multiple boundaries based on grade. For example, a K-8 school might
maintain one small boundary for K-6th and a second, larger boundary for 7-8. If the
duplicate was a result of multiple boundaries served by the same school then the
MultiBdy attribute was updated to a value of ‘1.’ The shapefile provided is the largest
extent of the duplicate boundaries. The unique boundaries are available in a
supplemental file upon request.
* Identify Missing Schools - Each school listed in the collection universe must have a
feature in the database or be determined to be out of scope for the collection universe.
Analysts performed research, which included visiting the district web page and/or
calling the district contact, to determine why each missing school was not included in
he geodatabase. Many missing schools were open enrollment, thus the district did not
deliver an attendance boundary. Valid open enrollment schools were added to the
database with an attendance boundary coincident to the district boundary. The open
enrollment status of each attendance boundary was recorded in the open enrollment
attribute in the feature class. In instances where the missing school was an error, the
correct boundary was collected from the district and incorporated into the dataset.
* Identify Extra Schools - Schools that were not in the collection universe, but were
reported with a boundary were saved in the database. Some magnet, charter, and
other non-regular schools maintain address-based attendance boundaries. If provided
by the district, these boundaries were saved in the database even though they were
not required. In other cases, the file provided by the district included boundaries for
closed schools. NCES confirmed the status of the school and corrected the boundaries.
Spatial Check for Missing Grades
This step used the CCD and a single district feature class to ensure every geographic
area was covered by every grade. First, it identified geographic areas that were not
covered by a specific grade. Then, analysts examined and rectified coverage in the
feature class.
Geometry Review and Editing
School attendance boundaries were clipped to the extent of the corresponding school
district boundary in order to match the SY 2013-14 SDRP collection. Respondents were
encouraged to contact their SDRP representative if they determined there was an error
in the district boundary. Valid unassigned areas within responding districts were covered
by a feature called ‘Unassigned.’ In some instances, the districts provided coverage for
one school level, but not the other. In these cases, the ‘schnam’ field should be combined
with the ‘sLevel’ field to determine which grades are missing coverage.
The geometry cleanup process below not only ensured compliance with SDRP boundaries,
but it also eliminated gaps and accidental overlaps. The reduction of these two errors
provided cleaner data to users for geospatial analysis.
* Clip to District Boundary - The school boundaries were clipped to the district boundaries
to ensure that the school boundaries did not extend beyond district lines.
* Union Process _ Once clipped, all school level feature classes were combined into
a single feature class. The new feature class consisted of a new set of polygons that
were created from the geometric union of the input features. This process automatically
eliminated the gaps and overlaps in the features and ensured that the lines between
school level, such as elementary and middle, coincided as they were intended. A
tolerance setting of 30 feet or less was used as a parameter, which moved vertices of
adjacent polygons within the tolerance to meet at a mid-point. A threshold of 30 feet
was used because it is the width of a typical small street. Digitized districts and districts
that delivered their data in a union were an exception to this rule. They were always
processed with a tolerance setting of 0 feet.
* Eliminate Slivers - The union of multiple school levels often created slivers. Slivers are
geographic areas that should be coincident across grade levels, but are not. Slivers were
frequently seen along freeways and rivers. For example, an elementary school boundary
may follow the western edge of a river, but the overlapping middle school may follow the
center of the river. It is clear that these two boundaries were intended to follow the same
line so the sliver created between the central and western lines is merged with the larger
boundary. SABS defined slivers as features less than 10,000 square feet. Census blocks
and imagery were used to identify the appropriate steps for dealing with a sliver. Areas with
residences were left as is. Slivers without residential areas, such as rivers as described in
the example above, were merged with neighboring boundaries as appropriate. In some
cases, features larger than 10,000 square feet were identified as slivers and merged with
nearby features. This type of sliver frequently appeared as long, narrow, unassigned areas
adjacent with the district boundary.
*Unassigned Areas - All areas that were not covered by a school attendance area were
labeled "unassigned." Airports, parks, and water bodies typically fell into this category

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. For more information regarding
scale and accuracy, see our webpage at:
