Sources (5)
Counties
Urlhttps://gis.mo.gov/arcgis/rest/services/BaseMap/county_boundary/MapServer/0
ProviderMissouri Office of Geospatial Information (OGI)
TypeArcGIS REST MapServer
Noteverified 115 records (114 counties + St. Louis, which Census/MO treat as a county-equivalent — consistent with its independent-city status). Field schema wasn't confirmed this session.
Municipalities
Urlhttps://gis.mo.gov/arcgis/rest/services/BaseMap/county_city_boundary/MapServer/1
Providersame OGI host, layer "City Limit" — this is Census TIGER Places data re-hosted by Missouri, not a state-authored municipal registry
TypeArcGIS REST MapServer
Noteverified live and St. Louis is present/identifiable by name (PLACE=65000), but this layer has NO field distinguishing legal type (city/town/village) and NO parent-county field — MSDIS's open-data catalog was also checked and has no dedicated dataset with legal classification. Flagged as a real gap, not solved by a guessed source.

School Districts
Urlhttps://gis.mo.gov/arcgis/rest/services/DESE/Missouri_Public_Schools/MapServer/1
ProviderMissouri DESE (Dept of Elementary and Secondary Education) + OGI, layer "Public School Districts"
TypeArcGIS REST MapServer
Noteverified 515 records (close to the ~518 expected). The alternate host ogi.oa.mo.gov seen in search results does not resolve — use gis.mo.gov only.
Educational Region
Statusno live equivalent exists
NoteDESE's 9 Regional Professional Development Centers (RPDCs) are real and regionally organized, but are hosted at universities (e.g. rpdc.missouri.edu) with no unified API/GIS layer — only static PDF directories — and their statutory role is professional development/ school improvement, not the shared-services/special-ed/purchasing role BOCES/CESA/Service Cooperatives play elsewhere. Not a genuine BOCES-equivalent.
Population
Statusnot yet ingested
