Description
This booklet describes and defines performance contracting as well as its history within the United States. Performance contracts are made between a school district and an independent firm in order to solve a specific problem or set of problems. The projects are frequently experimental, but always have clearly defined objectives and measurement criteria. Blaschke provides an overview of preliminary findings about the cost effectiveness of these programs particularly for schools and different contracting options for the future.
