Local Educational Agencies

Local Educational Agencies (LEAs) are organizations responsible for overseeing public education at the local level, typically at the school district level. They manage public schools, ensuring compliance with educational laws and policies, allocating funds, and implementing educational programs. LEAs are crucial in setting curriculum standards and maintaining school facilities, often engaging with parents and communities to improve education quality. Essentially, they bridge the state’s educational policies with the day-to-day operations of schools, working to support students' learning and development within their communities.
