Senate District 15
9 school districts, 2 of them wholly inside · an estimated 35,347 pupils · 4 on the guarantee
All 33 Senate districts. Every figure here is apportioned from census blocks and is an estimate — see the note on that page. Senate seats are three times larger than House seats, so more of their schools lie wholly inside them and the estimate is correspondingly tighter.

The two share columns answer opposite questions and are easy to confuse. Of the district is how much of that school district lies in this House district — 100% means the member speaks for all of it. Of this seat is how much of this House district's pupils that school district provides. 7 of these 9 districts also lie in other House districts, so their pupils and money are counted here only in part.
