Description:
Abstract:
The School District data set is intended to depict Skagit County School Districts described by legal description from Skagit County Code Chapter 6.64 and information received from the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction.
Purpose:
The Skagit County School Districts dataset was developed to provide county employees and the public a view of the district boundaries in relation to County geographic features. The delineation includes linear features representing District boundaries
Supplemental Information:
As of 2-25-2004, Skagit County Code refers to the Darrington School District as District number 400, however, the OSPI refers to it as District number 330. Since the OSPI is the regulatory agency, we are using District number 330.
