relating to its allocation of resources to and within each State in a 
manner that reflects the need for assistance in accordance with section 
203(d) of Title II of the TA Act; (b) strategies for monitoring and 
addressing the educational needs of the region, on an ongoing basis; 
(c) maintaining a high standard of quality in the performance of the

manner that promotes progress toward improving student academic 
achievement.
    The plan must (1) detail the composition of the board by name and 
affiliation in accordance with the requirements described in section 
203 of the TA Act and in the application instructions found in the 
application package, and (2) include a letter of commitment from each
