The Association of School Business Officials International (ASBO) has awarded the Rockwall Independent School District with the Meritorious Budget Award for Excellence in the preparation and issuance of the 2008-2009 school system annual budget.

The Meritorious Budget Awards Program was designed by ASBO International and school business management professionals to enable school business administration to achieve excellence in budget presentation. The program helps school systems build a solid foundation in the skills of developing, analyzing, and presenting a budget.

The Meritorious Budget Award is only conferred to school systems that have met or exceeded the Meritorious Budget Award Program criteria. No other organization or award program is specifically designed to enhance school budgeting and honor a school system for a job well done.

The Association of School Business Officials Internation, founded in 1910, is the highest standards of school business management practices, professional growth, and the effective use of educational resources.
