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 Texas Education Agency (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).
