Description: School Districts is a polygon feature used to denote the district boundaries of Elementary, Middle and High Schools in the County of Roanoke.School Districts are maintained within the Administration Feature and is dissolved out weekly.Administration is a polygon feature consisting of the smallest statistical areas bounded by visible features such as roads, streams, railroad tracks, and mountain ridges, as well as by nonvisible boundaries such as jurisdictional limits, school district, public safety boundaries, voting precincts, and census blocks. This methodology allows for single stream editing to move coincidental boundaries across many aggregate datasets simultaneously. Administration is maintained though an ArcGIS topology class in conjunction with County Parcels and Zoning. The topology prevents self-intersection and gaps, while ensuring complete coverage amongst the participating features.
