Dear Mapping Coordinator,

This e-mail is to notify you that your state's verification materials for 
the 2009-2010 School District Review Program (SDRP) are available for 
review.  

Unlike the Annotation Phase of the program, no CDs or DVDs will be mailed 
to you for the Verification Phase of the SDRP.  All verification materials 
and guidelines for your state have been posted to the 2009-2010 SDRP 
website located at:  www.census.gov/geo/www/schdist/sch_dist.html.  
Step-by-step guidelines have been developed to assist you in accessing 
your materials and completing your review.

To access your verification materials and guidelines on the SDRP website, 
click on the Verification Materials hyperlink.  Then click on the 
hyperlink for your state.  You will see two folders; one named "files" and 
one named "maps".

The folder named "files" contains all the applicable school district 
listings (text files) for your state (which should be reviewed and 
verified) and also the following guidelines in PDF format:  

School District Review Program Verification Procedures
Att_C_Paper_Map_Guidelines

The "maps" folder contains PDF maps only of those counties for which 
updates were submitted, not the entire state as was done for the 
Annotation Phase.

We suggest that you begin by reading the "School District Review Program 
Verification Procedures," which will provide you with background 
information on the Verification Phase.

Your verification materials include all submissions received by the Census 
Bureau by the October 30, 2009 deadline.  Any submissions received after 
the deadline are not reflected in the verification materials, but will be 
included in the poverty estimates scheduled to be released in November 
2010.

All verification updates must be received by the Census Bureau no later 
than Friday, April 2, 2010.

Please feel free to contact any member of the School District Team with 
questions regarding the program or procedures.

Thank you again for your participation.
