Outcomes Based Contracting (OBC)
OBC is a model of contracting for academic products and services in which at least 40 percent of the overall payment to a provider is contingent on meeting agreed-upon outcomes, fostering a culture of mutual accountability and collaboration and ensuring that dollars spent deliver academic impact.
The Center for OBC helps districts and providers implement OBC with innovation, mutual accountability, focused collaboration, and continuous improvement at the core. This ensures districts can make strategic decisions under increasingly complex resource constraints while staying focused on what matters most: student learning. The Center provides direct support, research insights, public resources, technical assistance, and cohort experiences that help districts build knowledge and implement services that achieve measurable, long-term student outcomes through the OBC model.
