Date formed and disbanded property

I'd like to suggest a date formed and a date disbanded property?
I'm also a bit confused as to whether the School district type is for the organisation running schools in an area, or for the geographic area. The description says it is for an organisation, but the schema includes the location type.

Date formed/disbanded are good suggestions. As a unit of political geography, I'm not sure that unifying the organization and the physical location is wrong, actually -- we do the same for cities, countries, etc., which are treated both as geographic areas as well as legal entities.
I wonder if this should be a dated location, then, to capture the date properties?

I've a few examples of edge cases which aren't exactly school districts, and I'm not too sure how best to fit them in:
- alternative-education boards/organizations e.g. Waldorf/Steiner
- School examination boards such as International Baccalaureate or the various GCSE boards.
- normally geographically confined school boards e.g. India's CBSE but which have expat schools e.g. Indian High School, Dubai under their affiliation.
- Companies with run private schools in various locations.
-
For Waldorf, Montessori, Reggio Emilia, et al., I'm not sure. They're really approaches or philosophies. Waldorf does have some agencies, but according to the WP article, they're more like accrediting agencies.
Looks like we could use an Examination Board type, doesn't it?
CBSE doesn't sound like a school district; it's hard for me to tell from the Wikipedia article exactly how to model what it does, though.
-
Speaking of examination boards, it looks like there's a base for standardized tests already: Standardized Testing. I'll see if he wants to promote those types to the commons.
