Results Driven Accountability (RDA)

The RDA is a local education agency (LEA) level, data-driven framework developed and implemented annually by the Division of Review and Support in coordination with other departments within the Texas Education Agency (TEA). The RDA Manual, formerly the Performance-Based Monitoring Analysis System (PBMAS), is intended to serve as a comprehensive technical resource used by the TEA as one part of its annual evaluation of LEAs’ performance and program effectiveness.

RDA Data and Reports

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, STAAR;
• 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
