It is the responsibility of the family to evaluate the vendors for the content of tutoring or teaching and to make sure they are a good fit for their student. FPCS does not endorse any particular service vendor.

    Ê®·ÖÁùºÏ²Ê APPROVED SERVICE VENDOR

    These vendors are approved with the Ê®·ÖÁùºÏ²Ê and provide educational tutoring/lessons locally. They have gone through a vetting process, including a background check, finger printing, have a business license, and insurance validation. These service vendors have a contract with Ê®·ÖÁùºÏ²Ê and an Educational Service Agreement (ESA) with FPCS. These vendors offer direct-billing FPCS for services. This is convenient for families as they do not have to pay out of pocket and wait for reimbursement. There are 2 vendor deadlines. See the FPCS important dates calendar for those deadlines.

     

    NON-PROFIT SERVICE VENDOR

    These are service vendors that can elect to be approved with Ê®·ÖÁùºÏ²Ê or not. They obtain their status from the State of Alaska and are organized not to make a profit. Families must pay out of pocket for these services and request reimbursement from FPCS.

     

    OTHER SERVICE VENDOR

    These vendors are parent-choice vendors not mentioned above. They have not gone through the vetting process with Ê®·ÖÁùºÏ²Ê or the State of Alaska. Utilizing these vendors for tutoring and educational services requires due diligence of the family to fully examine and validate the provider and the services offered. FPCS does not enter into any contract with these vendors. These service vendors must have a valid Alaska business license and they must provide a signed current W-9 form to activate them in the system. Provided the vendor meets the FPCS requirements mentioned in the previous sentence and the needs of the student's ILP, families will pay out of pocket for these services and request reimbursement from FPCS.
