Metadata created using Minnesota Geographic Metadata Guidelines
| Originator | Minnesota Department of Education |
| Abstract | The point locations of school district service offices were developed at MDE to complement other school locational information. Many school district offices, or service centers, are located in a current elementary, middle or high school building. Some have their own facility. All locations have been developed and compared to existing school locations or address matched using The Lawrence Group street centerline address files. Unmatched locations were matched through school district websites or Google maps. Some locations may be incorrect as a full QA/QC process has not been completed. |

| Title | Minnesota Public School District Center Locations, SY2007-2008 | |||
| Abstract | The point locations of school district service offices were developed at MDE to complement other school locational information. Many school district offices, or service centers, are located in a current elementary, middle or high school building. Some have their own facility. All locations have been developed and compared to existing school locations or address matched using The Lawrence Group street centerline address files. Unmatched locations were matched through school district websites or Google maps. Some locations may be incorrect as a full QA/QC process has not been completed. | |||
| Purpose | MDE has been in contact with Minnesota school districts since 1998, identifying school program locations. These locations are used by the Minnesota Department of Education to help identify where appropriate funds should be used for that school year. By adding school district service centers, school district maps will have an added value to the districts and MDE. | |||

| Section 2 | Data Quality Information | Top of full metadata | Top of page | |
| Attribute Accuracy | Many school district service centers are located within existing schools. Those locations were found through use of the existing public school locations. Additional district centers were found through use of address matching, locational address matching through Google and Microsoft internet mapping or Farm Service Agency (FSA) 2003-04 aerial photography. A QA/QC process has not been fully completed so some locations may be incorrect due to address match error. | |||
| Logical Consistency | Not applicable | |||
| Completeness | All school districts are complete. Locations will require modification through a QA/QC process. | |||
| Horizontal Positional Accuracy | See Lineage. | |||
| Lineage | This point dataset was initially created in March 2007. Locations were taken from existing public school locations where addresses matched. Where addresses were very close, NAIP 2003-04 aerial photography was used. Additional unmatched sites were either located via the school district website or through Google maps. This dataset has not been through a QA/QC process. |
