[Data-modeling] Changes to the schema for primary and secondaryschools

[Jeff Prucher]

Thanks for your input, everyone. I'm going to go ahead and create a task for
this refactoring (I just realized that school district also has properties
for grades, so I'll add that as well -- it'll just point to the same "Grade
Level" type as School). 

If anyone has additional comments, please speak up!

Jeff
