The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) has updated its search tool for locating US public elementary and secondary schools (first discussed in the October 10, 1997 Scout Report). The newly designed National Public School and School District Locator now includes a separate search utility for locating school districts nationwide and allows users to identify the "correct name, address, telephone number, NCES ID number, urbanicity, and other student and teacher information for public schools or school districts."
