All School Program Providers (SPPs) must have a partnership agreement in place with DCPS in the form of either a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) signed by the Chancellor or a Purchase Order/Contract issues by the Office of Contracts and Acquisitions (OCA). In addition to this agreement, many schools and partners find it helpful to outline the specific details of how they will work together throughout the school year.This template outlines the most common topics around which schools and SPPs typically need to norm. Schools and/or partners can use this tool to facilitate collaborative planning. Please add/delete sections as you see fit to tailor it to meet the needs of your partnership.

The Partnerships Team recommends that schools and partners fill this template out together at the beginning of the partnership, amend as changes occur, and revisit, at a minimum, at the beginning of each school year. Both the school and the partner should maintain a copy for referral.
