BVSD recognized with for sound fiscal management and budgetary policies

For the eleventh year in a row, the Association of School Business Officials International has recognized Boulder Valley School District for excellence in budget presentation. 

Annually, ASBO International’s Meritorious Budget Award promotes and recognizes the best budget presentation practices in school districts. Recently, the organization notified BVSD that it had once again received ASBO’s Meritorious Budget Award (MBA) for the 2018–2019 budget year.

The Process
Participants submit their applications and budget documents to a panel of school financial professionals who review the materials for compliance with the MBA Criteria Checklist and other requirements and provide expert feedback that districts can use to improve their budget documents. Districts that successfully demonstrate they have met the necessary program requirements may earn either the MBA or Pathway to the MBA, an introductory program that allows districts to ease into full MBA compliance.

“Districts that apply to the MBA or Pathway to the MBA programs recognize their community needs to be able to easily find and understand important district financial information,” ASBO International’s Executive Director David Lewis explains. “Awarded budget documents are accurate, easy to read, and communicate the district’s goals and objectives. Reviewer comments help districts continually improve their budget presentation—which is one reason districts apply each year.”
