This point datalayer shows the locations of schools in Massachusetts. Schools appearing in this layer are those attended by students in pre-kindergarten through high school. Categories of schools include public, private, charter, collaborative programs, and approved special education. This data was originally developed by the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection’s (DEP) GIS Program based on database information provided by the Massachusetts Department of Education (DOE). The update published on April 17th, 2009 was based on listings MassGIS obtained from the DOE as of February 9th, 2009. The layer is stored in ArcSDE and distributed as SCHOOLS_PT. Only schools located in Massachusetts are included in this layer. The DOE also provides a listing of out-of-state schools open to Massachusetts' residents, particularly for those with special learning requirements. Please see http://profiles.doe.mass.edu/outofstate.asp for details. Updated September 2018.

The Digital Bedrock Geologic-GIS Map of Minuteman National Historical Site and Vicinity, Massachusetts is composed of GIS data layers and GIS tables, and is available in the following GRI-supported GIS data formats: 1.) a 10.1 file geodatabase (mima_bedrock_geology.gdb), a 2.) Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) geopackage, and 3.) 2.2 KMZ/KML file for use in Google Earth, however, this format version of the map is limited in data layers presented and in access to GRI ancillary table information. The file geodatabase format is supported with a 1.) ArcGIS Pro map file (.mapx) file and individual Pro layer (.lyrx) files (for each GIS data layer), as well as with a 2.) 10.1 ArcMap (.mxd) map document (mima_bedrock_geology.mxd) and individual 10.1 layer (.lyr) files (for each GIS data layer). The OGC geopackage is supported with a QGIS project (.qgz) file. Upon request, the GIS data is also available in ESRI 10.1 shapefile format. Contact Stephanie O'Meara (see contact information below) to acquire the GIS data in these GIS data formats. In addition to the GIS data and supporting GIS files, three additional files comprise a GRI digital geologic-GIS dataset or map: 1.) this file (mima_geology.gis_readme.pdf), 2.) the GRI ancillary map information document (.pdf) file (mima_geology.pdf) which contains geologic unit descriptions, as well as other ancillary map information and graphics from the source map(s) used by the GRI in the production of the GRI digital geologic-GIS data for the park, and 3.) a user-friendly FAQ PDF version of the metadata (mima_bedrock_geology_metadata_faq.pdf). Please read the mima_geology_gis_readme.pdf for information pertaining to the proper extraction of the GIS data and other map files. Google Earth software is available for free at: http://www.google.com/earth/index.html. QGIS software is available for free at: https://www.qgis.org/en/site/. Users are encouraged to only use the Google Earth data for basic visualization, and to use the GIS data for any type of data analysis or investigation. The data were completed as a component of the Geologic Resources Inventory (GRI) program, a National Park Service (NPS) Inventory and Monitoring (I&M) Division funded program that is administered by the NPS Geologic Resources Division (GRD).

Source geologic maps and data used to complete this GRI digital dataset were provided by the following: Boston College and U.S. Geological Survey. Detailed information concerning the sources used and their contribution the GRI product are listed in the Source Citation section(s) of this metadata record (mima_bedrock_geology_metadata.txt or mima_bedrock_geology_metadata_faq.pdf). Users of this data are cautioned about the locational accuracy of features within this dataset. Based on the source map scale of 1:24,000 and United States National Map Accuracy Standards features are within (horizontally) 25.4 meters or 83.3 feet of their actual location as presented by this dataset. Users of this data should thus not assume the location of features is exactly where they are portrayed in Google Earth, ArcGIS, QGIS or other software used to display this dataset. All GIS and ancillary tables were produced as per the NPS GRI Geology-GIS Geodatabase Data Model v. 2.3. (available at: https://www.nps.gov/articles/gri-geodatabase-model.htm).

PFAS contamination is an urgent environmental and public health issue. These chemicals are often referred to as "forever chemicals" because they do not break down in the environment, leading to widespread contamination of water, soil, and air. PFAS exposure has been linked to adverse health effects, including developmental issues in children, reduced fertility, and increased risk of certain cancers. Understanding where PFAS contamination exists is crucial for protecting both human health and the environment. You can visit the map project from this url: https://alicexhui.github.io/pfas/ Why Map Schools? Mapping schools in relation to PFAS contamination is a critical aspect of this project because schools are places where children spend a significant portion of their time. Children are more vulnerable to the harmful effects of environmental toxins like PFAS due to their developing bodies and higher intake of water relative to their body weight. By mapping schools in proximity to known PFAS contamination sites, we can: 1. Protect Children's Health: Identifying schools near PFAS hotspots allows for targeted actions to ensure that the water and environment around these schools are safe. Protecting children from exposure to these harmful chemicals is essential for their long-term health and development. 2. Inform School Administrators and Parents: Providing school administrators, staff, and parents with clear, accessible data about PFAS risks can help them make informed decisions about mitigating exposure and advocating for safer school environments. 3. Prioritize Remediation Efforts: Mapping schools helps prioritize areas for remediation and monitoring, ensuring that resources are directed to where they are most needed to protect the health of the youngest and most vulnerable members of our communities. Mapping schools in relation to PFAS contamination is about safeguarding the well-being of future generations and ensuring that all children have a safe environment to learn and grow.

This dataset provides a crosswalk that maps the meta-major column to the Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP) classification columns in the Awards (Degrees) Conferred Statewide dataset. Meta-majors are a framework that categorizes academic programs into broad curricular pathways.

This dataset utilizes the 2020 CIP. The Classification of Instructional Programs was created by the U.S. Department of Education's National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) in 1980. More information can be found on the CIP user site.

This crosswalk is unique to this dataset and should not be used to map award information from other sources or institutions.
