TOWSON, MD—For the 14th year, the Baltimore County Public Schools Office of Budget and Reporting has been recognized by the Government Finance Officers Association.

In 2019, the name of the award BCPS has received multiple times was changed from the Distinguished Budget Presentation Award to the Award for Best Practices in School Budgeting. This award represents excellence in the preparation and issuance in school system budget reporting.

Williams. “Fulfilling that obligation requires clarity in budget presentations. I am so proud of our Budget and Reporting staff for their expertise and dedication for producing such excellent presentations.”

The Office of Budget and Reporting has received notification that the Government Finance Officers Association award program has been discontinued. BCPS will continue to participate in the Association of School Business Officials (ASBO) budget award program.
