Broward County Public Schools (BCPS) is honored to be awarded the Government Finance Officers Association’s (GFOA) Distinguished Budget Presentation Award for its 2022 fiscal year District budget, based on an examination by a panel of independent reviewers. The award is presented to the District and BCPS Budget Department for meeting the highest principles of governmental budgeting.
Recipients of this award must satisfy nationally recognized guidelines designed to assess how well an entity’s budget serves as a policy document, a financial plan, an operations guide and a communications device.
As a testament to the BCPS Budget Department’s commitment to adhering to these nationally recognized budgeting guidelines, the District has been awarded the GFOA Distinguished Budget Presentation award 18 times.
“Earning this recognition once again demonstrates the District is consistently maintaining high budgeting standards that are aligned with our strategic goals,” said BCPS Superintendent Dr. Vickie L. Cartwright. “I congratulate the Budget Department and our employees for the work they do to ensure our District is a good steward of taxpayer dollars.”
The GFOA advances excellence in government finance by providing best practices, professional development, resources and practical research for more than 21,000 of its members and the communities they serve. Award recipients have pioneered efforts to improve the quality of budgeting and provide an excellent example for other governments throughout North America.
