| Title | Minnesota Charter School Locations, School Year 2006-2007 | |||
| Abstract | These charter school program locations cover public school programs with an MDE Unit Classification of 7. There may be Charter schools not covered in this database. | |||
| Purpose | MDE has been developing school program locations, both public and nonpublic, since 1998 in coordination with the Land Management Information Center (LMIC). Charter school locations is an addition to the existing public and non-public school database. Since November 2006, MDE has taken ownership of this Charter school dataset. | |||

| Section 2 | Data Quality Information | Top of full metadata | Top of page | |
| Attribute Accuracy | All charter locations were geocoded using either street centerline road files from The Lawrence Group (TLG), U.S. Census TIGER or online at Google maps. Some locations have been moved based on 2003-2004 Farm Service Agency (FSA) aerial photography. |
|||
| Logical Consistency | Not applicable | |||
| Completeness | Only those charter schools identified as part of the Minnesota Department of Education, Food and Nutrition Service are found in this database. The data came from December, 2006 with an MDE Unit Type of '7'. It has been noted that many of these locations may be incorrect so the SY2007-08 update cycle will address that issue (August, 2007). |
|||
| Horizontal Positional Accuracy | See Lineage. | |||
| Lineage | August, 2005: LMIC was provided a database from MDE-FNS containing charter school addresses. LMIC took this database and initially processed it against the existing Public school database to find duplicates. The remaining locations were geocoded in ArcMAP 9.1 using the most current TLG (The Lawrence Group) street centerline database and U.S. Census TIGER street database. Remaining unmatched addresses were tested online with Google maps and locations were found. A few of the locations have been verified using FSA NAIP aerial photography. All others are unverified and may vary from exact location to centroid of a city or zip code. December 2006: The Department of Education, Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) modified the existing Charter shapefile for additions and deletions. The file has not been verified through a QA/QC analysis. |
