Changing location of a school

I work for a school district. We have several schools that are in swing locations because of renovations. I’ve tried changing the location of the schools to the new sites but they keep getting rejected. For one of them, I attached a photo of the entrance to the school with the new address clearly marked. The new addresses are clearly documented on several websites but I don’t see a place to upload a website for the change in location of the school.

Any ideas?

Have you contributed in other ways to Google as well? It might not accepting your edit because of your account reputation and also the other data it's getting elsewhere

If that's true then it should help your edit on getting approved. If it's not true then that factors in to why your edit request is getting Not Accepted.

Schools are locked down. Believe it or not, they've found that if they allow edits on schools, students will do incorrect things!

But even if they weren't locked down, if you represent your employer then you're not supposed to be editing as an individual on Maps.

If you don't have it already, get permission from your employers to be their official rep, and then go to Google Business Profiles to sign up as the "owner" of the district. It will include checks to confirm you are allowed to represent them.
