      I noticed there are 4 entries for Burlington School District.  My guess is they are for different Burlingtons, however none have anything to determine which are which. And I'm sure there are other school districts that share names.

      Should we just assign states to these topics, or is there a way to figure out what the individual topics are for?

      I don't want to tag one as Vermont, for example, if it is already linked elsewhere in some way that I can't see.

        They are definitely for different Burlingtons.  We are working on getting more information about them loaded, like connecting them to schools and cities, but I couldn't say when that will be done.  We might be able to at least put them in states for now, which should help a little bit.  We've also unhidden the LEAID property, which is just a unique identifier used by the NCES; it's not very interesting, but it should at least let people know that these are different districts, even if it's not readily obvious which district it is.  If you want to help out with these efforts, let me know, and I'll put you in touch with the people working on this project.

        Yes, the LEAID should help so we don't assign the wrong locations and schools, etc to the districts.  Thanks
