Description: This feature class represents the school district boundaries for Gregg, Upshur, Harrison, and Smith Counties extracted from 2012-2013 Statewide School Districts for Texas. This information was collected from all 254 county central appraisal districts and from the Texas Education Agency. GIS staff of the Texas Legislative Council created the school district boundaries using the 2010 TIGER/Line Shapefile as base geography and made further corrections to match the school district boundary updates and name changes for the 2012-2013 School Year. These changes include lines that are not census geography. Changes to school district boundaries may include one or all of the following types: school district annexations or de-annexations; school district consolidations, deletions or additions; boundary corrections to the Texas Legislative Council database; boundary adjustments due to more spatially accurate data involving land parcels and survey data received from a county central appraisal district. Note: The 2012-2013 School Year school districts in the council's geographic file are not the same as the 2009-2010 School District Review Program (SDRP) districts in the Census Bureau's TIGER/Line Shapefile. The population data for the council's 2012-2013 school districts does not correspond with the population data reported for the 2009-2010 SDRP school districts in the Census Bureau's PL 94-171 file.
