Local Education Agencies

Local Education Agencies (LEAs) are government bodies responsible for overseeing public education within a specific area, such as a city or school district. They manage schools, set educational policies, and allocate funding for programs. LEAs ensure that students receive quality education and comply with state and federal regulations. They work with teachers, administrators, and the community to meet the needs of students and improve educational outcomes. Essentially, LEAs act as a bridge between the state educational system and local schools, helping to shape the learning experience for students in their jurisdiction.
