  "definition": "The National Center for Education Statistics’ (NCES) Education Demographic and Geographic Estimate (EDGE) program develops annually updated point locations (latitude and longitude) for public elementary and secondary schools included in the NCES Common Core of Data. The NCES EDGE program collaborates with the U.S. Census Bureau’s Education Demographic, Geographic, and Economic Statistics (EDGE) Branch to develop point locations for schools and school district administrative offices based on these addresses. The point locations in this data layer were developed from the 2021-2022 CCD collection. For more information about NCES school point data, see: National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) (https://nces.ed.gov/programs/edge/Geographic/SchoolLocations)",
