District contract work

Definition

Tutoring a school district buys on a bid and a school year, not a parent by the month.

Why It Matters

It arrives in large blocks, pays late, and ends when the funding cycle does, which is a different business from parents paying monthly for a child who is struggling. Federal recovery money inflated this line for several years and much of it has now run out. Ask what share of revenue is district work, which programs fund it, when each contract was last re-bid, and what the center looked like before that money existed.
