Schools spend billions of dollars annually on contracts for everything from HVAC maintenance to technology services and tutoring.
Some districts are experimenting with outcomes-based contracting, paying vendors, at least in part, for improvements in student learning.
That’s the closest one can get to a money-back guarantee in education.

About 30% of students tutored in math scored in the 66th percentile or higher on the standardized Northwest Education Association ’s MAP exam after one year .
School districts have been slow to embrace contracts that tie pay to performance, in part because contracting officers typically aren’t trained in how to develop them.
