Waukegan Community Unit School District # 60 has again been recognized with a Meritorious Budget Award (MBA) for the 2019-2020 budget year, from the Association of School Business Officials International (ASBO).

The Meritorious Budget Award is intended to promote and recognize best budget presentation practices in school districts. Participants submit their budget applications to ASBO’s panel of financial professionals for review, during which they are assessed for compliance with the MBA Criteria Checklist and other requirements. As a MBA awardee, District 60’s financial team demonstrated that the District has successfully met the necessary program requirements.

Evaluators praised District 60 for its budget document for its wealth of information and stated the document “contains excellent spreadsheets, charts and graphs to help the reader fully grasp the data presented… The document is user-friendly for the average taxpayer with lots of data presented in different forms to meet the needs of varied users.”

This marks the 6th year that District 60 has been recognized with the Meritorious Budget Award.
