The Maptician school locator is a hosted service
which enables school districts to provide the public with district boundary lookup
services through the Internet. School boundary shape files are loaded into the
system and in conjuction with the road database allow the system to first identify a
location through an address, then determine its districts for primary, middle and high
schools.
Once the
district has been identified, the system provides the user with the school name and its
address and contact information. Alternatively, the system can directly link the
user with the school's web site or a redesigned page.
