USER NOTES:

This data is provided 'as is'. GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the original data layer's topology

Layer is complete for the 2004-2005 school year. Public school zones are subject to change on a yearly basis.

GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the attribute information within the original data.

This GIS layer was produced by the North Central Florida Regional Planning Council (NCFRPC) under contract with FDOT District 2 in early 2005, and by the Northeast Florida Regional Planning Council (NEFRPC) under contract with FDOT District 2 in early 2006. This is one of many layers that fall into the general category of "sociocultural" GIS data. This data is intended for use in the Efficient Transporation Decision Making Process (ETDM), which includes the development of an on-line application called the Environmental Screening Tool. The primary objective of the program include: Effective/timely decision making without compromising environmental quality Integrating review and permitting processe.Early NEPA reviews and approvals Full and early participation, Meaningful dispute resolution. For more information about these initiatives an on-line search using keyword 'ETDM' will provide a number of resources. A listing of relevant documents and resources is included under: http://fdotenvironmentalstreamlining.urs-tally.com/Library/default.htm.

The North Central Florida Regional Planning Council (NCFRPC) and the Northeast Florida Regional Planning Council (NEFRPC) are working with the Florida Department of Transportation, District 2 to create regional maps of "sociocultural" features, including hospitals, parks, cemeteries, historical structures, and others. The maps will provide the FDOT with improved spatial information required for planning roadway projects.

THE DATA INCLUDED IN FGDL ARE 'AS IS' AND SHOULD NOT BE CONSTRUED AS LEGALLY BINDING. THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA GEOPLAN CENTER SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES SUFFERED AS A RESULT OF USING, MODIFYING, CONTRIBUTING OR DISTRIBUTING THE MATERIALS A note about data scale: Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale datasets are not suitable for some project, analysis, or modeling purposes. Please be sure you are using the best available data. 1:24000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the county level. 1:24000 data should NOT be used for high accuracy base mapping such as property parcel boundaries. 1:100000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the multi-county or regional level. 1:125000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the regional or state level or larger. Vector datasets with no defined scale or accuracy should be considered suspect. Make sure you are familiar with your data before using it for projects or analysis. Every effort has been made to supply the user with data documentation. For additional information, see the References section and the Data Source Contact section of this documentation.

DATA LINEAGE SUMMARY:

North Central Florida Regional Planning Council - Process Steps: ALACHUA: Merged school_zone_elementary.shp, school_zones_middle.shp, and school_zones_high.shp into one shapefile named AC_schoolzones.shp. These three shapefiles were created by the Alachua County Growth Management Department, GIS Division. GILCHRIST: Called Gilchrist County Schools and talked to the bus zone department, and recieved verbal definition of the school zones. Process Date: 20050601 Data set development. Process Date: February, 2005 to June, 2005 Northeast Florida Regional Planning Council - Process Steps: 1. Obtained all existing GIS data from county and school board GIS departments. 2. Obtained hard copy and digital image maps of service zones from School Board Transportation Departments. 3. Digitized hard copy and image sources to GIS shapefile format using street centerlines, section polygons, and hydrology. 4. Clipped the layer representing each county to the cntbnd.shp layer obtained from GeoPlan. 5. Appended all final county layers together using the append tool in Arc Toolbox. 6. Checked the final layers for quality control and made any necessary adjustments. Process Date: 20060601 GeoPlan received this data, via CDROM, and performed the following: -Reprojected to the FGDL Albers HPGN map projection. -Restructured the attribute table to fit the SCE Data Specification Document Standards. -Merged datasets together to create one FDOT District-wide shapefile. -Added FGDLAQDATE field based on the date FGDL acquired the data from the source. -Added DESCRIPT field based on 'NAME' Process Date: 20060614
