Charlie,

My husband, who is a teacher and has written a couple of DoEd grant
applications, tells me that LEAs are normally equivalent to a school
district, as opposed to an individual school or set of schools within a
district.   At least on the grant applications he has written, there has
been a definition, but it is sometimes buried in the fine print.  Hope it
helps.  -- Pamela
