Pricing & how to buy
Published rates.
Plain arithmetic.
Every rate is on this page. There is no "contact sales for pricing" — a public buyer shouldn't have to book a call to find out what something costs.
What does CCMRI cost?
Four ways to partner. Two share performance with us; two are flat, if your district prefers pure budget certainty and no financial alignment at all.
| Option | Structure | Scope | Risk profile |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 — Outcomes partnership Recommended |
$1 / student / year + 5% of the Bonus-Outcome increase above your baseline |
All K-12 | Lowest guaranteed cost. Everything beyond the $1 floor is 5¢ on a new dollar the state actually paid you. |
| 2 — Flat, district-wide | $3 / student / year no revenue share |
All K-12 | Fixed budget line. You keep 100% of any growth — but you pay it whether or not results come. |
| 3 — High-school scope + outcomes | $3 / HS student / year + 5% of the increase |
Grades 9–12 | Narrower footprint, same pay-for-performance core. Buys none of the K-8 early pipeline. |
| 4 — High-school scope, flat | $9 / HS student / year no revenue share |
Grades 9–12 | Simplest possible deal. No K-8 pipeline, and no shared risk. |
Under Options 1 and 3 the district keeps 95% of every new bonus dollar. Options 2 and 4 carry no performance component at all.
How does the 5% actually work?
The performance fee is 5% of the increase in Bonus-Outcome revenue above your own pre-platform baseline — not 5% of your funding. Your existing baseline is never billable.
Invoiced after the state pays
TEA settles outcomes bonuses roughly two years after the outcomes are produced. The performance fee follows that money — never ahead of it. CCMRI does not front capital and never asks a district to pay before the state does.
Only positive deltas count
A down year owes nothing on the performance component. There is no clawback and no penalty. If Bonus Outcomes never rise, the district has paid only the per-student floor.
Written as a rate card
In contract the 5% is expressed as a fixed rate card per additional qualifying outcome — the structure Texas outcomes-based contracting already uses, procured best-value under TEC §44.031. Mathematically identical, cleaner for your counsel.
What does that look like on a real district?
A de-identified example built entirely from published TEA CCMR Outcomes-Bonus finals, so you can run the same arithmetic on your own district.
A 27,500-student North Texas district
| Bonus revenue received, 2021 → 2024 | $149K → $219K → $214K → $493K |
| Maximum potential at current cohort size | $9.98M / year |
| Current capture rate | 4.9% |
| Left unclaimed each year | ≈ $9.5M |
The district's 2024 result more than doubled 2023 without any new platform — the outcomes are there when someone goes looking for them.
Modelled three-year trajectory
| Yr 1 | Yr 2 | Yr 3 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Capture rate | 17% | 21.5% | 23.5% |
| Bonus revenue | $1.69M | $2.14M | $2.35M |
| New money vs. baseline | +$1.2M | +$1.65M | +$1.85M |
How does a Texas district actually buy this?
Three routes, depending on your purchasing threshold and board calendar.
Cooperative purchasing
Texas districts can buy through competitively procured co-op contracts without running their own RFP — BuyBoard (TASB), TIPS (ESC Region 8), and Choice Partners (Harris County Dept. of Education).
Ask us where we currently stand on each contract before you plan around it — we'll tell you straight rather than imply coverage we don't have.
Sole source
Where a district's policy allows it, CCMRI provides a signed sole-source letter on company letterhead stating the factual basis, including patent-pending status (App. #64/068,075).
Open RFP
We respond to formal solicitations and can supply a completed K-12CVAT or HECVAT, our VPAT 2.5 accessibility report, and the full vendor security packet as standard attachments.
The paperwork, in order
Data privacy agreement
We have signed the SDPC National Data Privacy Agreement with the Texas exhibit (TX-NDPA) unmodified, so your team executes the instrument it already knows. Districts in the Texas Student Privacy Alliance can leverage an existing signed agreement through the SDPC Resource Registry.
Security review
K-12CVAT / HECVAT, VPAT 2.5, subprocessor list, encryption and retention detail — all available before you commit, not after.
Master Services Agreement
Pricing and terms live in the MSA; student data lives in the DPA. Two separate instruments, both for your counsel's review.
Pricing questions
How much does CCMRI cost?
Four published options. The recommended outcomes partnership is $1 per enrolled student per year across all K-12 grades, plus 5% of the increase in Bonus-Outcome revenue above your own pre-platform baseline. The flat alternatives are $3 per student per year district-wide, $3 per high-school student per year plus the same 5%, or $9 per high-school student per year flat. Under the outcomes options the district keeps 95% of every new bonus dollar.
When is the performance fee invoiced?
Only after the state pays you. TEA settles CCMR outcomes bonuses roughly two years after the outcomes are produced, and our performance fee follows that money rather than preceding it. CCMRI does not front capital and does not ask a district to pay in advance of state funds arriving. This is the single most common question from business offices, and the answer never changes.
What happens in a year when Bonus Outcomes go down?
Nothing is owed on the performance component. Only positive increases above your own pre-platform baseline are billable. There is no clawback and no penalty, and your existing baseline revenue is never billable under any option. In a flat year under Option 1, a district has paid only the $1 per student floor.
Can we buy CCMRI without running an RFP?
Often yes. Texas districts can purchase through competitively procured cooperative contracts such as BuyBoard (TASB), TIPS (ESC Region 8) and Choice Partners (Harris County Department of Education). A district may also proceed under a sole-source justification, for which we provide a signed letter stating the factual basis including our patent-pending status. Ask us where we stand on any specific co-op before planning around it.
What data privacy agreement do you sign?
We have signed the SDPC National Data Privacy Agreement with the Texas exhibit — TX-NDPA — unmodified, so districts execute the instrument they already know. The Master Services Agreement covering pricing and the Data Privacy Agreement covering student data are separate instruments; both go to your counsel for review.
How do districts typically fund CCMRI?
Common sources are Perkins V career and technical education funds, ESSA Title IV-A Student Support and Academic Enrichment funds — which districts frequently use for college and career counselling — Title I-A where the population qualifies, state CTE allotment funds, and the local general fund technology or accountability budget. We'll map your chosen option to the codes you actually have, including saying when we think a source doesn't fit.
Is there a minimum contract term?
Terms are set in the Master Services Agreement and are open to negotiation with your counsel. Because TEA settles bonuses on roughly a two-year lag, the outcomes options include a survival clause so that a fee earned during the term is still payable when the state funds actually arrive — and equally, so the district is never billed for an increase it did not receive.
Want these numbers run on your district — free?
Send us your district name and we'll come back — at no cost and with no obligation — with your published TEA capture rate, a 2031 differential-weighting estimate, and what each of the four options would actually cost you. A demo loaded with your own TAPR data comes with it, before any meeting.
