School district wins meritorious budget award

The Association of School Business Officials International has awarded the Mat-Su Borough School District its Meritorious Budget Award for excellence in budget presentation for the first time. The award is conferred only to school districts that have met or exceeded the Meritorious Budget Award criteria.

To earn this award, the school district submitted its 2013-14 budget for a rigorous review based on stringent criteria.

Developed by ASBO for school districts, the MBA criteria guide school business officials toward a quality school budget presentation by enhancing the school business officials’ skills in developing, analyzing and presenting a school system budget.
