School districts and LEAIDs

Are the geographic districts for elementary, secondary, or unified most similar to the LAEIDs used by the EDGE program of the census, and can you merge them together or do you need a crosswalk if one exists?

Hello,

I just checked a handful of LEAIDs from the EDGE program with the geographic identifiers in the ACS data available from NHGIS. The geographic identifiers in the ACS data match the LEAIDs from the EDGE program; therefore, I think you can just merge them together.

Great support! Thank you.
