For the sixth year, Austin ISD has received the Government Finance Officers Association’s (GFOA) Distinguished Budget Presentation Award for its annual budget.

The award reflects AISD’s commitment to meeting the highest standards of governmental budgeting. To receive the award, AISD had to satisfy nationally recognized guidelines for effective budget presentation. Budget documents were rated proficient in these four categories:

·         a policy document,

·         a financial plan,

·         an operations guide and

·         a communications device.

“Austin ISD is committed to providing transparent and meaningful budget information to our taxpayers,” said Chief Financial Officer Nicole Conley Johnson. “We are proud to be recognized by GFOA and will continue working to ensure our district remains fiscally responsible while serving students, staff and our community.”

The GFOA is a nonprofit professional association serving approximately 17,500 government finance professionals.
