Clear Creek ISD receives budget award

The Association of School Business Officials International (ASBO) recently awarded the Meritorious Budget Award to the Clear Creek Independent School District (Clear Creek ISD).

The award was given to Clear Creek ISD for its preparation and issuance of a 2010-2011 school system annual budget. The Meritorious Budget Awards Program was designed by ASBO International and school business management professionals to enable school business administration to achieve excellence in budget presentation.

The program helps school systems build a solid foundation in the skills of developing, analyzing and presenting a budget. The Meritorious Budget Award is only given to school systems that have met or exceeded the Meritorious Budget Award Program criteria.

According to the Review Team for the ASBO, “[Clear Creek ISD] is to be complimented for its efforts. The budget is a fine document, which includes a wealth of information in graphic and narrative form. The document is user-friendly for the average taxpayer with lots of data presented in different forms to meet the needs of varied users.”

“In this difficult economic climate and with the current state funding crisis, our stakeholders should be proud, as I am, of our finance team and the District,” said CCISD Superintendent Greg Smith, “They are doing their best to ensure that Clear Creek ISD is able to retain the best employees and provide a world class education for all of our students.”
