Data Source History: Gil Brenum of Oakland Unified School District delivered a text file of school names and addresses to OCIS. The addresses were geocoded to the enhanced and reprojected Tiger streets layer, resulting in a point coverage. The points were adjusted using the same conflation links applied to the "oaktiger" coverage using the Arc:adjust command in Arc/Info. This brought the points into closer coordinate accuracy with the "streets" layer. Jonathan Lowe added annotation to the layer for each school's name.

Quality Check: No quality control procedures were performed on this layer.

Security restrictions: No security restrictions.

Update Frequency: No scheduled updates by OCIS.

Update process: OUSD will notify OCIS GIS staff when updates to the school layers are required and will supply OCIS with shapefiles for conversion to ArcInfo coverages.
