Under Results Driven Accountability, the ALSDE measures each Local Education Agency's (LEA) performance on both compliance and educational results — and directs its monitoring intensity accordingly. The resources on this page help coordinators understand the differentiated monitoring process, meet annual self-assessment and assurance requirements, keep indicator data accurate, audit their own timelines before monitoring finds them, and manage corrective action and student records with confidence.
