School Districts
Statusno live GaDOE/GOSA GIS boundary API found
NoteGOSA's downloadable-data repo (download.gosa.ga.gov) is real and live, with per-year CSVs including "state, RESA, and school system" level data, but no dedicated machine-readable district-code/RESA crosswalk file. A third-party ArcGIS layer was found (services7.arcgis.com/.../Join_Features_to_Georgia_School_Districts/FeatureServer/0) but has null district-code/name fields (a broken join) — not recommended as authoritative.
Educational Region
Statusno API or GIS layer — directory only
Note16 RESAs confirmed via gadoe.org/contact/georgia-resa/ (Northwest, North Georgia, Pioneer, Metro, Northeast, West Georgia, Griffin, Oconee, Middle Georgia, CSRA, Chattahoochee-Flint, Heart of Georgia, First District, Southwest Georgia, Coastal Plains, Okefenokee) — a static directory page, not a dataset.
