The geographical reference files are provided for users who may want expanded information about the geographic characteristics of LEAs. For example, while the 2007-08 school year LEA universe file includes the county in which an LEA's central office is located, the geographical reference file includes all of the counties that are within, or intersect with, the LEA's physical boundary. Records on the geographical reference files can be linked with records on the LEA universe file by using the LEA ID.
