Providersame OSPI service — ESD fields are embedded directly on every school-district record rather than published as a separate ESD entity table
Noteverified all 9 ESDs by distinct ESDNumber/ESDName query (101, 105, 112, 113, 114, 121, 123, 171, 189). A standalone ESD boundary layer also exists on geo.wa.gov (OSPI::educational-service-districts-esds-1) but its page is JS-rendered with no directly extractable REST endpoint — use the school-districts service above instead.
