Contractor Data

The Contractor feature allows users to manage contractors working within the district. These individuals are separate from the general staff population and are recorded and filed separately.

The term contractor refers to the entity the resident/educating district is contracting with. A contractor may be a reporting entity, i.e., an ESC (Educational Services Center) or another school district.

The term contracting district refers to the resident/educating district. Since contractors are not stored in the database, the user must enter each contractor's information. A corresponding Staff Demographic and at least one Staff Employment Record must exist for each Contract Staff Employment Record. Contract Only Staff records are to be reported for the Staff/Course collection L. Districts must report at least one record per contractor, contract, position code, and fund source.
