Receiving the award from the Association of School Business Officials International means that ACPS:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Appreciates the need for the community to be able to easily find and understand important division financial information.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Presents budget documents that are accurate, easy to read and communicate the division\u2019s goals and objectives. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Uses the best budget presentation practices for school divisions.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The ACPS budget is filled with with information regarding division-wide priorities, planning activities, educational programs, and initiatives in line with the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.acps.k12.va.us\/acps2020\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ACPS2020 Strategic Plan<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

Budget planning and development takes place from July through December and the approval process starts in January with three major milestones: a proposed budget, an adopted budget and a final budget. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The creation of an effective, comprehensive budget takes a tremendous amount of time, effort, coordination and teamwork and involves a broad spectrum of staff, including financial services staff, the school board, principals, executive staff, program managers and support staff. Receiving this award is a validation of that effort.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Read about <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.acpsk12.org\/news\/?p=12391\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">what the 2019-20 budget means for our schools<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Learn more about the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.acps.k12.va.us\/Page\/488\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ACPS budget and process<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">View the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.acps.k12.va.us\/Page\/2231\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2018-19 Budget<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for which the award was received.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Association of School Business Officials International is a nonprofit organization that, through its members and affiliates, represents approximately 30,000 school business professionals worldwide.
