2016 Cartographic Boundary File, Current Secondary School District for Arizona, 1:500,000
The 2016 cartographic boundary KMLs are simplified representations
of selected geographic areas from the U.S. Census Bureau's Master Address File /
Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (MAF/TIGER) Database
(MTDB). These boundary files are specifically designed for small-scale thematic
mapping. When possible, generalization is performed with the intent to maintain the
hierarchical relationships among geographies and to maintain the alignment of
geographies within a file set for a given year. Geographic areas may not align with
the same areas from another year. Some geographies are available as nation-based
files while others are available only as state-based files. 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. The cartographic boundary files include separate files for
elementary, secondary and unified school districts. The generalized school district
boundaries in this file are based on those in effect for the 2015-2016 school year,
i.e., in operation as of January 1, 2016.
