You don't need this as an id field will automatically be added. Also
life will be simpler if you stick to the rails conventions for naming
things (don't use camelCase), if you needed a school type id it should
be called school_type_id.

I suggest you work right through some tutorials on RoR in order to get
the basic principles. railstutorial.org is good and is free to use
online (how many times have I typed that in the last year I wonder, my
fingers type it without conscious brain involvement). Also have a
look at the Rails Guides, starting with Getting Started, obviously.
