21. Technically How Funding data joined (table) to the appropriate geography (check for nulls) County, city or school district Resultant file is then unioned with legislative district (House or Senate) (County_Funding_Union) Nulls were reviewed and deleted where appropriate. These were generally the result of the lack of integrated topology. (County_Funding_Union) SqMi (Double) was added and calculated to ensure a significant portion of the legislative district was within the County. Any area less than 10 sq/mi (County), less than .023 sq/mi (city(check all up to .1 sqmi)) was deleted (County_Funding_Union)

22. Technically How County_Funding_Unionconverted to a point file (Feature to Point) for display purposes ((County_Funding_Union_Feature) Add type Column to each file Merge with previously merged files/Clean Run update query to consolidate all calculations for each district to a single row Create Pie charts by district. Doing so at a state level skews the visual Reports run manually on each district to complete the template below.
