For anyone who wants to do mundane research:
- List of school districts in Illinois is outdated. School districts are consolidating by the dozen each year now; I see a couple sets of districts to merge already. Also, some of the school district names are strangely abbreviated, like Peoria Heights. It would be nice if each county had which Region of Education it's in also, since school district numbers are only unique within an RoE.
- Wikipedia:WikiProject Missing encyclopedic articles/High schools/US/Illinois has errors for sure; for example, it seems to include schools that were specially run whether they've been high schools or not.
Maybe I should repeat this in the discussion for those categories, but it's late and I'm tired and dumb. --Closeapple 10:52, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
- Although you have to look into the history of the List of school districts in Illinois page to see it, I was the one who essentially created the current page when I replaced the then-existing entries with a "complete" list. What I did was copy the "Illinois Public School Districts by County - School year 2004-2005" list from the Illinois State Board of Education [1] into an Excel spreadsheet. I I spent a couple of hours cleaning up the list, including trying to replace as many of their odd abbreviations as I could. The 2005-06 list is now available on the site. I certainly welcome corrections. -- DS1953 talk 17:56, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
