""" # Note: The 'school_rules' variable from the notebook seemed less critical # once the RAG system (retrieving docs) and the Geoapify lookup were added. # The relevant rules should ideally be within the text files in the 'docs/' directory # and retrieved via the query_docs function. If specific static rules are always needed, # they could be added back here or appended to the system_prompt, using text provided by you.
