Division Receives 'Distinguished' Budget Presentation Award
April, 2017...Manassas City Public Schools is the recipient of the Distinguished Budget Presentation Award for the second year in a row. The Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) is recognizing the school division for its work on the current FY 2017 budget.
The award is the highest form of recognition in governmental budgeting. In order to receive the award, MCPS had to satisfy nationally recognized guidelines for effective budget presentation. The guidelines are designed to assess how well an entity’s budget serves as: a policy document, a financial plan, an operations guide and a communications device.
Executive Director for Financial Services Andy Hawkins and his staff were recognized at the April 24 regulary-scheduled School Board meeting for achieving the award. The division was also recognized for excellence in budget presentation in 2016.
