SCHOOL_DISTRICTS_2013_USCB_IN.SHP was derived and modified from a pre-existing ESRI shapefile that was downloaded as a zip file named "TL_2013_18_UNSD.ZIP" (unified school districts) from the following URL of the U.S. Census Bureau: <http://www.census.gov/cgi-bin/geo/shapefiles2013/main>

Abstract:
The following is excerpted from an online document produced by the U.S. Census Bureau pertaining to unified school districts published in 2000 (found at <http://www.census.gov/geo/www/cob/sd_metadata.html>):

"School districts are geographic entities within which state, county, or local officials provide public educational services for the area's residents. The U.S. Census Bureau obtains the boundaries and names for school districts from state officials. The U.S. Census Bureau first provided data for school districts in the 1970 census. For Census 2000, the U.S. Census Bureau tabulated data for three types of school districts: elementary, secondary, and unified.

Each school district is assigned a five-digit code that is unique within state. School district codes are assigned by the Department of Education and are not necessarily in alphabetical order by school district name."

Purpose:
SCHOOL_DISTRICTS_2013_USCB_IN.SHP was created to provide a GIS data layer of school districts in Indiana, current as of 2013.

Process_Description:
STL_2013_18_UNSD.ZIP was downloaded from the USCB and unzipped. ESRI ArcToolBox was then used to reproject the shapefile to UTM, Zone 16, NAD 1983, and and the output shapefile was named SCHOOL_DISTRICTS_2013_USCB_IN.SHP. ESRI ArcMap was then used to edit the shapefile, and the following fields were deleted from the attribute table: "STATEFP," "UNSDLEA," "LSAD," "MTFCC," "SDTYPE," "FUNCSTAT," "ALAND," "AWATER," "INTPTLAT," and "INTPTLON."
