title: Passing Data to a Layout Page
body: <p>I have a <code>layout</code> page that has variables that need to be filled.  Example: </p>
  
  <pre><code>@ModelType KarateAqua.schoolModel
  
  &lt;html&gt;
      &lt;body&gt;
  
          @RenderBody()
  
          &lt;div id="footer"&gt;
              &lt;div class="content"&gt;
                  &lt;div class="bottom_logo"&gt;
                      &lt;a href="/"&gt;&lt;span class="inv"&gt;@Model.schoolName&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
                  &lt;/div&gt;
              &lt;/div&gt;
          &lt;/div&gt;
      &lt;/body&gt;
  &lt;/html&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I don't want to populate this in every <code>ActionResult</code>.  Is there a way to pass data to a <code>layout</code> page once and do it for all instances?</p>
