To earn the award, the district submitted its 2012-2013 budget for a rigorous review based on stringent criteria.  The district was one of just twelve districts in Illinois and 121 in the country to receive the award.  The award was designed to enable school business administrators to achieve a standard of excellence in budget presentation. The program helps school systems build a solid foundation in the skills of developing, analyzing and presenting a budget.   that can be understood by laypeople and experts alike.  To receive the award, the final budget presentation was required to be presented in such a way that it can be understood by the lay person and contain sufficient information so a detail-oriented expert can understand the budgeting process used by the district.

“We are proud of CFO Dada and his team for earning this award,” said North Shore School District 112 Board President Bruce Hyman.  “Providing accessible, transparent and understandable information about our budget and finances is a key goal for our board.  We are fortunate to have a community that values and supports education, and it is our responsibility to provide our stakeholders with resources to help them understand how their tax dollars are spent.  This award affirms that we are meeting that goal.”
