This template is used on many pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.
This template is intended for use in school district articles when there is no more specific template available.
This should not be used for individual schools. See WikiProject Schools' infobox guidelines for more detailed guidance on selecting the correct infobox.
| name= is the only required parameter, all other fields are optional. Copy and paste the following blank instance to the article page; do not delete fields just because you're unable to find or source the information in the moment, only those that fundamentally do not apply to that particular school system. The empty parameters will not be parsed for display until a value is added, and the empty fields will serve to alert future editors to information that still needs to be researched and included in the article.
The | free_textn = parameters may be used for additional information not covered by the standard parameters. These parameters should be used sparingly.

Microformat
The HTML mark up produced by this template includes an hCard microformat, which makes the organisation's details parsable by computers, either acting automatically to catalogue article across Wikipedia, or via a browser tool operated by a reader, to (for example) add the subject to an address book. For more information about the use of microformats on Wikipedia, please see the microformat project.
If the organisation has a "coordinates" field, use {{Coord}} to include a Geo microformat, which additionally makes the coordinates (latitude & longitude) parsable, so that they can be, say, looked up on a map, or downloaded to a GPS unit.
hCard uses HTML classes including:
adr
agent
category
country-name
extended-address
fn
geo
label
latitude
locality
longitude
nickname
note
org
region
street-address
url
vcard
Please do not rename or remove these classes; nor collapse nested elements which use them.
Official, legal name of the school district as stated in their bylaws. The default value will automatically copy the article title as the value, set manually if that it not the district's legal name.
