Comparability is an annual requirement. Using current-year data, it precedes eligibility for the receipt of Title I, Part A fund allocations for that year. An LEA that does not demonstrate compliance may have its Title I, Part A allocation withheld until compliance is demonstrated.
Completing Comparability:
Understand what comparability is by accessing the Resource section
Use the FY25 Comparability Requirements for a step-by-step guide to complete comparability
Use one of the provided workbooks or another method to demonstrate the LEA is comparable
Once comparable, enter the LEA’s data in Educational Monitoring and Compliance (EMAC) and submit it to the Arizona Department of Education
