Placing Orders

iLEAD Hybrid Acton Studio has established ordering guidelines to support your learner’s academic goals. Instructional funds are allocated for learner use, but they are still considered school funds. Using the guidelines on this page, families will collaborate with their educational facilitator to make decisions that benefit the educational path of their learner(s). Prior to ordering, all families must complete the Community Providers and Family Service Agreement and High Risk forms sent by the EF to their family.

Families can only order from Community Providers listed on the iLEAD Hybrid Acton Studio Providers List.

Learners who enroll by the first day of school are allotted $600 per semester to order educational services from approved Community Providers (or $1200 for the year). Funds depreciate depending on the date of enrollment.

ORDERING SERVICES

When you are ready to request an order, please use the service order request form below to submit the order to your EF. Once your educational facilitator approves the order, they will submit the request to the Community Providers department for final approval before ordering.

Before placing a service order, please review the Community Provider’s website for class and schedule information. Be sure to confirm the class/course price and dates as you will need this information to submit your order. You may also need to contact the service providers to sign up for the service (class/lesson/tutoring, etc). When ready, please submit the order to your EF using the Service Order Request Form.

Any issues, concerns, or questions regarding your orders should be addressed through your educational facilitator.

As you research and place orders, please keep in mind the following:

As a public charter school, learners must not be required to pay facility and/or registration fees in order to access a Community Providers class. Any required fees (registration fees) must be paid by school purchase order. This also includes if an outside/third party charges any kind of fee to access the class. Learners must be given the option to use school instructional funds to pay for costs associated with accessing the class (i.e. registration fee, course fee, materials fee). The school will only honor POs for education-related expenses and will not pay for non-education-related expenses such as clothing, costumes, competition fees, non-safety equipment, etc.

If a learner withdraws at any time, materials will need to be immediately returned to the educational facilitator.

These orders, combined with the services, should not exceed the instructional funds allotted to that learner. Because taxes and shipping fluctuate, please place material orders prior to placing service orders.

  1. Instrument RentalsBasic, economy-grade musical instruments may be rented by either Mel Booker or Burbank Music Academy for the music course that is being paid for by iLEAD. Where applicable, families should also ensure an instrument case or bag is included with the rental. Instruments must be returned in the same condition as they were rented. The parent/guardian is responsible for any damages beyond normal wear and tear.
