The District Leadership Team engages district, family, and community partners to identify stakeholder needs and resources for responding to these needs. Initial and ongoing allocation of resources will need to be prioritized so that professional development and coaching take place. Resources encompass not only available monetary assets but also available personnel, instructional materials, and time that will facilitate the implementation of an MTSS as a framework for supporting all students. The District Leadership Team participates in MTSS evaluation (FAM-S and FAM-D) and removes barriers for implementation.

The District MTSS Team (DIT) ensures implementation capacity is developed at the school level and to assist the District Leadership Team in building the infrastructure needed for sustaining high-quality implementation. District Teams are accountable for assisting schools in developing school leadership teams.
