2026 Local Education Agency Compliance Report
Local education agencies (LEAs) are required to comply with all federal and state education laws
and State Board of Education (SBE) rules. This annual compliance report is one mechanism the
department uses to ensure education laws and rules are faithfully executed. The commissioner of
education is charged with taking corrective action when an LEA is noncompliant with those
laws and rules or is not following a department-approved compliance plan.
Each LEA must submit this report and, if applicable, the corresponding corrective action plan, to
the department by November 30, 2026. During report completion, an LEA should carefully check
the status of its compliance with all federal and state education laws and SBE rules. The
department monitors and verifies LEA compliance via multiple data sources (e.g., internal program
managers) and will consider those sources in making a final determination of an LEA's compliance.
Please be advised that annual compliance report data may inform an LEA's approval classification.
I certify that the LEA is in compliance with all federal and state education laws and SBE
rules.
I certify that, with the exception of areas indicated in the attached corrective action plan,
the LEA is in compliance with all federal and state education laws and SBE rules.
