Minnesota School District Boundaries, School Year 2005-2006
Dataset Identification:
Resource Abstract:
This file represents the boundaries of all public school districts in the state of Minnesota for school year 2005-2006. Minnesota
school districts identify their current elementary, middle and high school attendance area boundaries on a yearly basis using
large format maps supplied by the Land Management Information Center (LMIC). This file is maintained at LMIC but is also supplied
to the State of Minnesota Legislative Coordinating Commission GIS Office. The LCC keeps the 'official' school district information
for the State of Minnesota. This school district file was dissolved from a file containing both the school district and attendance
boundaries to produce just school district boundaries.

purpose:
Through a partnership with the Minnesota Department of Education, Food and Nutrition Service (MDE-FNS), LMIC maintains school
district and attendance boundaries on a yearly basis. This information is developed into a GIS data set and, along with additional
information, is used by MDE-FNS to identify program financial priorities. It also provides a map of school district boundaries
which supports a variety of mapping and data analysis applications.

Ordering Instructions
Ordering Instructions: 1. GIS data: this data set is distributed on the internet by clicking below after Online Linkage. Doing
so will tell your browser to start downloading a self-extracting 'ZIP' file which will contain the following: - The school
district boundary data in both shapefile (.shp, .shx., .dbf) and coverage (.e00) formats - Documentation (.html) - NOTICE.RTF,
an important notice about this data set that can be read by most word processing software, and an ascii text version of the
same notice (NOTICE.TXT) After downloading this self-extracting 'zip' file (which will have an 'exe' extension), simply execute
(run) the file. (For example, you can double click it from Windows Explorer or File Manager). Doing this will automatically
extract the files described above. 2. School district maps: These maps show district and attendance boundaries, and public
and non-public school program locations. Download in PDF format or order printed wallmaps from: http://www.mnplan.state.mn.us/maps/SchoolDistricts/
