| Section 2 | Data Quality Information | Top of full metadata | Top of page | |
| Attribute Accuracy | Attribute information is tested by manual comparison with source document. | |||
| Logical Consistency | The exterior boundary of each School District coverage has been examined to remove all overshoots, undershoots, unwanted intersections and checked for missing or duplicate polygon labels. | |||
| Completeness | Completeness in the checking process is examined through the examination and comparison of all detail collected by county staff. Sources used include: School District staff, County Auditor's Office, Metropolitan Council, Department of Children, Families and Learning, Minnesota Historical Society, Minnesota Legislative Reference Library. | |||
| Horizontal Positional Accuracy | Boundaries shown that coincide with hydrological features or those that have generalized definitions with little supporting detail of their location are digitized from digital aerial photography. Boundaries defined as center of main channel on Mississippi and St. Croix Rivers are approximations only (source U.S.G.S. quadrangle maps). All other boundary segments are generated by coordinate geometry based on a framework of accurately located PLSS corner positions. Legal boundary definitions were interpreted and analyzed according to records available and are not based on field survey. The nature of these definitions present situations where documents of record may not coincide with known ground position or that their ambiguity makes it difficult to identify precise ground location. As a result, caution is necessary in use of the School District boundary data when using it in site specific applications. | |||
| Vertical Positional Accuracy | N/A | |||
| Lineage | The exterior boundary for each School District is based on a boundary map dated 1971 that was provided by the County Auditor to the State Department of Education. Boundary changes since 1971 were researched by the County Department of Assessment, Taxpayer Services & Elections. These changes were reported to the Survey and Land Management Division for update of the maps. Boundaries were drawn using AutoCAD Map software to create line, polygons and attribute information. The boundary line location process used information available from the parcel database. Individuals performing the work were provided a set of standards and procedures to guarantee conformity to the data dictionary. | |||

| Section 3 | Spatial Data Organization Information | Top of full metadata | Top of page | |
| Native Data Set Environment | ArcGIS, AutoCAD | |||
| Geographic Reference for Tabular Data | A polygon link/label code is used to reference each school district within the data set. The label code of the Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) county code was used. Using this method each school district within the county/state will have a unique ID. Additional attributes are attached to the label code and are listed under Section 5. | |||
