168¿ª½±¹ÙÍø

The RDA system is a data-driven framework developed and implemented annually for local educational agencies (LEAs) by the Division of Review and Support in coordination with other departments within the 168¿ª½±¹ÙÍø (TEA). The RDA Chapter 12 in the Accountability Manual provides comprehensive technical documentation about the RDA system, including program areas, indicators, measurement requirements, data sources, and more. This system is used by the TEA as one part of its annual evaluation of LEA performance and program effectiveness. It is worth noting that the RDA Chapter 12 was previously a standalone RDA Manual, formerly called Performance-Based Monitoring Analysis System (PBMAS).

Planning for the Future

Ongoing implementation of the RDA will include the addition of new indicators, revision of current indicators, and deletion of indicators that are no longer necessary. Factors independent from the RDA itself are also likely to have an impact on the future versions of RDA. These factors include the following:

• legislatively required changes to the statewide assessment program, 168¿ª½±¹ÙÍø;
• changes resulting from reauthorizations of federal statutes, including the Elementary and Secondary Education Act;
• results of any state or federal reviews, guidance, and regulations;
• changes to data collection definitions and processes; and
• legislation from a regular or special legislative session
