Scope
Describe services in clear, measurable terms including frequency, duration, and delivery method so reviewers can confirm alignment with student needs and institutional standards.

Well-prepared requests reduce processing delays, support auditability, and help ensure compliance with FERPA, institutional procurement rules, and applicable funding conditions.
Various campus and district roles initiate or approve requests; a clear submission path speeds review and funding decisions.
Document owners should confirm required attachments and signer delegation before submission to avoid processing delays.
Typically the person who drafts the request, compiles supporting assessments, and certifies service details. They coordinate with families, providers, and budgetary staff to prepare the submission for approval and ensure required attachments are complete.
A district or institutional official with delegated authority to sign contracts or funding commitments. This role verifies budget availability, compliance with procurement rules, and that FERPA/HIPAA protections are addressed before signing.
