schools, Texas, USA, none, 2013-2014 school year
This layer contains public school locations in Texas. Schools include Texas regular, charter, and alternative schools. The layer excludes disciplinary alternative ed. (DAEP), juvenile justice alternative ed. (JJAEP) institutions, and the Windham school district. This boundary file was designed for medium to large scale thematic mapping and analysis.
The spatial data were obtained from the Texas Education Agency and are current as of 2013. The school locations originated from the TEA statewide dataset. Attributes were modified to include only school name, district, address information, grade information, county information, and administrative information. The coordinate system of this data is WGS 1984.

Does not include non-public schools. See http://www.tepsac.com/directory/index.htm for that information. How created: beginning with the 2012 dataset, schools which were listed in the Texas Education Directory (http://askted.tea.state.tx.us) as having closed were deleted, then the addresses of schools listed in the TED as new schools which were not found in the 2012 set were geocoded and the results were appended to remaining 2012 features. Some, but by no means all, of the data have been corrected based on aerial photography. School locations are approximations, and are for general information purposes only. This data is NOT a survey product.

Positional accuracy is NOT guaranteed. Many schools report their address as only a PO box, or report the address of the district administration building. Locations are approximations, and are for general information purposes only. This data is NOT a survey product.
Contains schools listed in the Texas Education Directory (http://askted.tea.state.tx.us) as of the publication date. Does not include non-public schools. See http://www.tepsac.com/directory/index.htm for that information.
Attribute data is as reported by the school districts in the Texas Education Directory, http://askted.tea.state.tx.us
Some (but by no means all) of the features have been checked against aerial photography. However, it is not always possible to locate each individual feature with a high degree of confidence, therefore positional accuracy is NOT guaranteed. Many schools report their address as only a PO box, or report the address of the district administration building. Locations are approximations, and are for general information purposes only. This data is NOT a survey product.
There is no vertical component to this data set.

Created to support the Texas Education Agency's online School District Locator app.The downloaded file was transformed from NAD 83 to WGS 84. Attributes cleaned up and renamed appropriately.
This high resolution point vector file outlines the Texas regular, charter, and alternative schools, excluding disciplinary alternative ed. (DAEP), juvenile justice alternative ed. (JJAEP) institutions, and the Windham school district. The data, current as of 2012, was downloaded from the Texas Education Agency database and processed further by the TTU CGST.
Does not include non-public schools. See http://www.tepsac.com/directory/index.htm for that information.
