For at least the previous 25 years, the Houston Independent School District has been recognized by the Association of School Business Officials International’s Certificate of Excellence in Financial Reporting Award. On Thursday, the district once again received the ASBO honor.

The award, given to school districts that demonstrate superior accounting practices and reporting procedures, was presented to the district for its 2011-2012 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (PDF), which was presented for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2012.

The award certifies the district has continually conformed to the principles and standards of financial reporting as recommended by the ASBO.
