Dear Eugene,

Thank you for looking at the data.

Agree.  For areas with highres imagery we can just copy the tags and
use a polygon for the school grounds.

Yes the SCHOOL_ID is an official reference number corresponding to a a
Region/Province and School Division.
Is the ref=* tag the correct place for this?

My proposal is:
1. Subset the data into smaller chunks say 500 schools for each file.
2. Prepare a list in the wiki to download the data.
3. Wiki gets updated if someone will edit one file by adding his
username in the table.
4. In JOSM, load the data a separate layer from the OSM data.
Edit/trace school grounds, buildings, foootways in the OSM layer.
Copy-paste tags
from the deped school layer to OSM layer.  Assign a changeset a
specific comment for this upload.  (This is also possible in P2).
5. Update the wiki by adding the changeset number if the data import
is finished.

Make sense?

For DepEd,  we will proved an extract of OSM schools data as a shapefile.
