Tips

• Boundaries are often used with walkzones for eligibility decisions.
• Review boundaries annually for rezoning changes.
• School boundary files can be downloaded from FindMySchool. Before you download, be sure the school record is mapped to a school at FindMySchool.us.
• The boundary data from FindMySchool.us is from the national center for Education Statistics. Some school boundary data might be unavailable. In this case, you can contact the EZRouting support team and provide boundary data like pictures, PDFs, or electronic maps. We will convert the boundary data into a GEOJSON file which can be imported into EZRouting.
• Sometimes the boundary data is not already in the FindMySchool system, or the data currently there is not up to date. If needed, these boundaries can be uploaded to FindMySchool. The function can be found under the operation menu on the school tab main page. Simply select the appropriate school from the dropdown menu, then click ‘upload’ at the bottom of the page.
