Line-item budgeting is still the most widely usedapproach in many organizations, including schools,
because of its simplicity and its control orientation. It is referred to as the "historical" approach because
administrators and chief executives often base theirexpenditure requests on historical expenditure andrevenue data.
One important aspect of line-item budgeting is that itoffers flexibility in the amount of control established
over the use of resources, depending on the level ofexpenditure detail (e.g., fund, function, object)incorporated into the document.

Program budgeting refers to a variety of differentbudgeting systems that base expenditures primarily
on programs of work and secondarily on objects. It is considered a transitional form between
traditional line-item and performance approaches,and it may be called modified program budgeting.
In contrast to other approaches, a full programbudget bases expenditures solely on programs ofwork regardless of objects or organizational units. As
these two variations attest, program budgeting isflexible enough to be applied in a variety of ways,depending on organizational needs andadministrative capabilities.

The basic tenet of zero-based budgeting (ZBB) is that programactivities and services must be justified annually during thebudget development process.
The budget is prepared by dividing all of a government'soperations into decision units at relatively low levels of theorganization.
Individual decision units are then a re ated into decisionpackages on the basis of program activities, program goals,organizational units, and so forth.
Costs of goods or services are attached to each decisionpackage on the basis of the level of production or service to beprovided to produce defined outputs or outcomes.
Decision units are then ranked by their importance in reachingorganizational goals and objectives.
Therefore, when the proposed budget is presented, it containsa series of budget decisions that are tied to the attainment ofthe entity's goals and objectives.
