Updates and Improvements in SDG v1.3

Major community updates by EdGraph to utilize NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) district survey data to generate SDG configuration.

NCES publishes this data annually, which includes many data points needed for SDG to model a school district within the listing. This update automates that step with the existing NCES CCD data to greatly reduce the time and manual effort to use SDG to model a school district.
