YCSD Earns National Award

The York County School Division recently received the Distinguished Budget Presentation Award from the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) of the United States and Canada, the highest form of recognition in governmental budgeting. This is the 14th consecutive year the school division has been honored for its annual budget.

In a press release announcing the award, the GFOA said, “The award represents a significant achievement by (YCSD). It reflects the commitment of the governing body and staff to meeting the highest principles of governmental budgeting.”

The GFOA has presented a Certificate of Recognition for Budget Presentation to Dennis Jarrett, Chief Financial Officer. Award recipients are recognized as having pioneered efforts to improve the quality of budgeting as an excellent example for other governments throughout North America. Budgets that are honored are considered good communication tools that explain the budget process, how money is spent, and the connection between spending/investments and the organization’s purpose.

The Government Finance Officers Association is a nonprofit professional association serving 17,500 government finance professionals throughout North America. The GFOA’s Distinguished Budget Presentation Awards Program is the only national awards program in governmental budgeting.
