Klein, Texas—Klein ISD has received the Certificate of Excellence in Financial Reporting from the Association of School Business Officials International (ASBO)—the district’s 22nd consecutive year to earn this distinction for outstanding financial reporting.
“Our Financial Services team continues to set the bar for transparency and excellence in financial reporting, and we’re honored to be recognized once again,” Chief Financial Officer Daniel Schaefer said. “This award reflects the care, expertise, and collaboration our team brings to the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report every year.”
The Certificate of Excellence recognizes school districts that meet the highest standards of financial reporting through their Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR). An impartial review confirms that the report clearly communicates the district’s financial story and supports informed community engagement.
“I’m incredibly proud of our Financial Services professionals whose dedication to sensible, transparent stewardship supports every classroom,” Superintendent Dr. Jenny McGown said. “Their consistent excellence in budgeting and reporting exemplifies the very best of Klein ISD.”
Klein ISD Director of Accounting, Ms. Cassi Thomason-Beaty, and the accounting team led the preparation of the ACFR this year. This award represents the highest recognition for a school district’s financial operations offered by ASBO.
Congratulations to the Klein ISD Financial Services Department for sustaining a decades-long standard of integrity, accuracy, and transparency in service to the #KleinFamily.
