The schools, districts, and other educational institutions in the Detroit Educational Institutions datasets were identified from the State of Michigan Center for Educational Performance and Information (CEPI) Educational Entity Master (EEM) database. Schools of all statuses (Open - Active; Open - Pending; Open - Inactive; Open - Under construction/remodeling; Open - Vacant/empty; Closed – Pending; Closed) are included in the dataset to provide access to information about schools that currently and previously operated in Detroit. Educational institutions with a mailing address in Detroit but a physical location outside the City are not included in this dataset. Each record in the dataset represents an educational entity, which may be a school, a district, or other entity directly associated with an educational institution. The word, "entity" is used in field (i.e., column) names and descriptions when a field is applicable to multiple types units associated with an educational entity (e.g., if applicable to schools, districts, and other facilities).Link to metadata: https://cepi.state.mi.us/eem/Documents/ColumnDescriptions.pdf
