Abstract: The article discusses budgeting procedures for school districts. The author expresses the opinion that traditional expenditure-based budgeting does not address program quality from year to year in sufficient depth. He advocates for a budgets based on return on investment (ROI) and zero-based budgeting. This alternative approach is described including empirical measurement of effectiveness, evidence-based program evaluation, and strategic simplification of the budget process. The author recommends developing a district philosophy requiring program justification and evaluation, treating district funds as if they were administrators' own money, and reviewing every district program. The method is meant to increase funding for effective programs and eliminate those that are ineffective.
