The NWRESD shall provide contract programs, services and facilities to component school districts by agreement. Contract programs, services and facilities may include, but are not limited to:

• administration and board services
• communication services
• instruction and school improvement services
• special student services
• technology services
• support services and any other relevant services.

Contract programs and services to component school districts may be provided if the programs and services are part of the Local Service Plan, are provided pursuant to a business plan, and the primary purpose of the programs and services is to address a need of component school districts.

In view of the differing needs of component school districts, the NWRESD will use varied and flexible delivery modes and will give component school districts the opportunity to participate in decisions about what services will be offered. The NWRESD shall submit proposals for contract programs and services to component school districts for approval to ensure that they receive information about the costs and benefits of the proposed programs and services. 

NWRESD expenditures for contracted programs and services are limited to the funds received for the purpose specified in the contract. The NWRESD shall include contracted programs and services in its annual financial report. Such contracts are not subject to Local Budget Law.

Any component school district that participates in the Core of the Local Service Plan will receive a 10% discount on all contracted services. The discounted price shall be reflected in Local Service Plan pricing. Any non-participating district or non-component district wishing to purchase services from the ESD may request a quote for service pricing from the Chief Financial Officer.
