Montana Title 20. Education § 20-11-110. Purchase of services by choice school

(1) With the exception of oversight services as required by 20-11-109, a community choice school may not be required to purchase services from the choice school's authorizer as an express or implied condition of choice school approval or of executing a charter contract.

(2) A choice school may choose to purchase services from its authorizer. In that event, the choice school and authorizer shall execute an annual service contract, separate from the charter contract, stating the parties' mutual agreement concerning any services to be provided by the authorizer and any service fees to be charged to the choice school. An authorizer may not charge more than market rates for services provided to a choice school.

(3) A choice school may purchase goods and services from for-profit providers for operational and ancillary purposes.
