What is the difference between a school service contract provider and school service on-demand provider?

A "school service contract provider" or "contract provider" means an entity, other than a public education entity or an institution of higher education, that enters into a formal, negotiated contract with a public education entity to provide a school service. This can be a contract provider that the district as a whole entered into a formal, negotiated contract with, or that a school individually entered into a formal, negotiated contract with.

A "school service on-demand provider" or "on-demand provider" means an entity, other than a public education entity, that provides a school service on occasion to a public education entity, subject to agreement by the public education entity, or an employee of the public education entity, to standard, non-negotiable terms and conditions of service established by the providing entity. This means any application or resource that an individual school has decided to use independently. These may or may not be district supported.

Bottom line: a contracted provider will have a formal data sharing agreement in place with PCSD as part of the district or school contract, and an on-demand provider will require parental/guardian consent at the school level before student data can be shared.

Notice to on-demand school service providers

If the District ceases using or refuses to use an on-demand school service provider pursuant to C.R.S. § 22-16-107, the name of the on-demand school service provider will be posted below along with any written response that the on-demand school service provider submits. The District will also notify the Colorado Department of Education, which will post on its website the on-demand provider's name and any written response.
