Sixteen ranked district opportunities
Scores out of 100 are editorial priority estimates, not search-volume measurements. We weighed federal/court activity, agreements, policy change, official-document depth, board evidence, public parent procedures, population/search intent, gaps in search results, repeat-update potential, local differentiation and usefulness. Publication also requires adequate primary records; a high news score alone does not qualify.

Status definitions
- Enacted / effective
- Enacted means signed or otherwise made law. Effective identifies when a provision operates; a bill introduction is not enactment.
- Notification conditional
- A specific trigger, consent rule, exception or court limitation must be read. This is not a universal yes/no label.
- State rule not determined in this audit
- The focused records reviewed do not establish a statewide classification. It does not mean no law or local discretion.
- Policy under review / revised / rescinded
- These describe different document events. A review does not itself amend policy; a replacement or repeal needs evidence.
- Unknown / not located
- The reviewed record does not establish the fact. It does not establish absence, noncompliance or concealment.
- Investigation opened / information request issued
- An agency is examining allegations or requesting information; neither label proves a violation.
- Agency finding issued
- An agency determination, which may be disputed. It is not a court judgment.
- Resolution agreement signed
- Evidence reports an executed agreement. A proposed agreement, temporary standstill or policy revision is separately labeled. Implementation may remain open.
- Enforcement pending / announced
- An agency describes enforcement steps. It does not establish a filed lawsuit, sanctions or funding termination.
- DOJ lawsuit filed / complaint filed
- A filed pleading establishes litigation and allegations; requested relief is not granted relief.
- Injunction / appeal / emergency relief
- Identify preliminary or permanent relief, who is covered, what is stayed, and the appeal. Emergency relief is not necessarily a final merits decision.
- Final judgment
- A court disposition supported by the actual judgment; appeal and stay status must still be stated.
