Who this is for
Right-sized support for real operational needs
School district administrators preparing to contract for FBA, BIP or direct behavior support.
Organizations rarely need another generic policy document. They need a clear professional scope, experienced judgment and practical steps that can be followed by the people doing the work.
Signs it may be time for outside support
- The district needs clear contractor deliverables
- Licensure and confidentiality requirements are not listed
- Review cadence and staff handoffs need definition
These signals are starting points for a conversation—not a diagnosis or proof that a specific service is required. The useful question is which responsibilities and constraints need to change first.
What a well-scoped engagement can address
- Define service activities and relevant campuses
- Set credential, authorization and record-handling requirements
- Document deliverables, timelines and decision rights
How the work should be approached
This checklist is a procurement planning resource, not legal advice. It should be adapted to district policy and jurisdictional rules.
Before an engagement begins, the parties should confirm deliverables, timelines, contact points, professional qualifications, confidentiality requirements and how progress will be reviewed. For direct clinical or school-based services, any required state licenses and contract approvals must be in place first.
Common questions
