Requested Information
I would like some materials on the following questions:
1) when and how the school polygon was created, changed and came into today's form. A survey on this would be greatly appreciated.
2) which kind of information is included in the polygon?
3) What are the school policies using polygon information? If used, how is it used?
Thanks a lot.

All polygon-level data as currently used by School Planning for redistricting purposes. In order to protect against potential disclosures of personally identifiable information about students when looking at polygon-level data where those who know the residents of a particular neighborhood may be able to deduce student-level information, HCPSS is following the National Center for Education Statistics’ federal guidelines for protecting student privacy in public reporting. Under both the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA), which restricts access to student records, and MPIA GP § 4-313, which prevents disclosure of school district records pertaining to individual students, FARMs and academic testing data has been suppressed per the key contained in the file.
