Return on Investment (ROI) • Standard Measure of Financial Accountability 𝐹𝑦𝑞𝑓𝑜𝑒𝑗𝑢𝑣𝑠𝑓𝑡 – Annual Expenditures per Pupil = 𝑂𝑣𝑛𝑐𝑓𝑠 𝑝𝑔 𝑄𝑣𝑞𝑗𝑚𝑡 • This measure does not consider performance • An ROI measure evaluates costs AND benefits – Expenditures per Graduating Pupil = 𝐹𝑦𝑞𝑓𝑜𝑒𝑗𝑢𝑣𝑠𝑓𝑡 𝑞𝑓𝑠 𝑄𝑣𝑞𝑗𝑚 𝐻𝑠𝑏𝑒𝑣𝑏𝑢𝑗𝑝𝑜 𝑆𝑏𝑢𝑓 – Note: a lower number indicates that fewer dollars are being spent in order to graduate a pupil.
ROI Example • District A: Expenditures per Pupil = $10,000 Graduation Rate = 100% 10,000 – Expenditures per Graduating Pupil = 100% = $10,000 • District B: Expenditures per Pupil = $10,000 Graduation Rate = 50% 10,000 – Expenditures per Graduating P upil = 50% = $20,000 • District B spends twice the amount of money to graduate the same number of pupils.
