Local Education Agencies (LEAs)

Local Education Agencies (LEAs) are organizations that manage public schools within a specific geographic area, such as a school district. They are responsible for implementing educational policies, overseeing the administration of schools, and ensuring that students receive quality education. LEAs handle funding, staff hiring, curriculum development, and compliance with state and federal education laws. Essentially, they serve as the bridge between schools and the government, ensuring that educational standards are met and that resources are allocated effectively to support students and teachers.
