District Earns Certificate of Excellence in Financial Reporting
==============================
The Association of School Business Officials International (ASBO) awarded Indian Prairie with a Certificate of Excellence in Financial Reporting for the district's 2007 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report.
The award recognizes Indian Prairie has met or exceeded quality standards in preparation and issuance of its Comprehensive Annual Financial Report.
This is the highest recognition for school district financial operations presented by ASBO. "This recognition is an assurance for the community that the district's financial accounting is being managed and reported carefully and accurately," said David Holm, assistant superintendent for business.
This is the third time Indian Prairie has received the ASBO award. Earlier this year, the District achieved the designation of "Financial Recognition," the highest rating of financial strength a school district can achieve, from the Illinois State Board of Education.
