This dataset is designed to represent and identify the boundaries of public school facilities and certified private schools within Lexington-Fayette County. The dataset is created by leveraging the appropriate boundaries in the GIS parcel dataset. The location of the public school facilities is updated through public record and coordination with the Fayette County Public School. The location for the certified private schools is updated through public record for certified private schools from the Kentucky Department of Education. The public school facilities are continously updated, while the certified private schools are updated on an anual basis as part of the registered sex offender mapping process. This dataset participates in a topology with the parcel dataset to assure coincident geometry during parcel editing.

The data is in ESRI feature class format, but can be exported to any number of supported formats, including shapefile and dxf. The native projection for the data is Kentucky State Plane North (NAD83), but may have been reprojected for use in other applications. Please check metadata to determine current projection.

This dataset is programmatically generated from the LFUCG School boundary polygon dataset.
