Using Crowd-Sourced Data for the School Attendance Boundary Survey
Track: Editing and Data Compilation
Authors: Tai Phan, Amy Ramsdell, Andrea Conver

The National Center for Education Statistics’ School Attendance Boundary Survey (SABS) collects school attendance boundaries from every school district in the U.S. for the 2013-14 school year. We will present highlights from our experience building a national fabric of school polygonal data using boundaries submitted by districts in GIS format or drawn using our web editor application. Technologies employed include Esri ArcGIS 10.2 for Server and Desktop, ArcGIS API for Javascript, and Python.
