Mansfield ISD received top recognition for having an accessible and accurate budget presentation that builds trust and clear communication with stakeholders.

The Association of School Business Officials International (ASBO) gave the district the Meritorious Budget Award (MBA) for the 2017-18 fiscal year.

The MBA award promotes and recognizes best budget presentation practices in school districts.

Participants submit their budget applications to ASBO’s panel of financial professionals for review. The applications are then assessed for compliance and other requirements.

School districts receive the MBA when the review team agrees the budget documentation has met or exceeded the MBA criteria.

MISD is one of 21 school districts in the state to receive the Meritorious Budget Award at the time of writing. View more information about the designation here.
