MO Public School Districts

<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>This data set was developed by the US Bureau of the Census, modified by the Missouri Geographic Resource Center (GRC), and currently maintained by the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education and the Missouri Office of Administration, Information Technology Services Division, Office of Geospatial Information (OGI). January 2022 update.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>This is a GRC-edited version of the 2010 TIGER school districts to reflect changes for the 2012 year.The TIGER/Line Files are shapefiles and related database files (.dbf) that are an extract of selected geographic and cartographic information from the U.S. Census Bureau's Master Address File / Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (MAF/TIGER) Database (MTDB). The MTDB represents a seamless national file with no overlaps or gaps between parts, however, each TIGER/Line File is designed to stand alone as an independent data set, or they can be combined to cover the entire nation. School Districts are single-purpose administrative units within which local officials provide public educational services for the area's residents. The Census Bureau obtains the boundaries, names, local education agency codes, grade ranges, and school district levels for school districts from State officials for the primary purpose of providing the U.S. Department of Education with estimates of the number of children in poverty within each school district. This information serves as the basis for the Department of Education to determine the annual allocation of Title I funding to States and school districts. TIGER/Line Files include separate shapefiles for elementary, secondary, and unified school districts.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Boundaries were updated in 2015 by Missouri OGI to account for two districts that were voluntarily annexed into existing districts.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN /></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>
