The purpose of this dataset is to provide a comprehensive and up-to-date representation of school attendance boundaries for the 2025-2026 school year across Maryland's 24 local education agencies. This information is crucial for various stakeholders to understand and visualize the geographic extent of school attendance zones. The annual updates ensure the dataset remains current, reflecting any changes in attendance boundaries as per the guidelines of the Enough Act legislation. These boundaries are for representational purposes only and should not be considered legal or official pieces of information
This polygon feature class represents the 2025-2026 school attendance boundaries for the 24 local education agencies (LEAs) in Maryland. It was created by the Maryland Department of Planning in collaboration with the Maryland State Department of Education using data provided by local education agencies.
