Hi friends,
In today's blog post, I'm excited to highlight an outstanding achievement in the Klein ISD community. It's a story of consistent dedication and excellence, demonstrating what can be achieved through skilled financial management and commitment to education. Join me as we delve into this remarkable success and offer our congratulations to those who made it possible.
For an impressive 21 consecutive years, Klein ISD has maintained a stellar record in financial stewardship, consistently earning an “A” rating from Texas' Financial Integrity Rating System (FIRST). This remarkable achievement underscores the district's unwavering commitment to managing its financial resources with the utmost integrity and efficiency.
Since the inception of FIRST awards 21 years ago, Klein ISD has consistently stood out by achieving the “Superior Achievement” rating – the pinnacle of financial recognition offered by FIRST. This continuous recognition is a clear indicator of the district's excellence in financial management.
Dr. Jenny McGown, the Superintendent of Klein ISD, expressed her admiration for the finance team's exceptional work. “The team's dedication to judiciously managing our community's tax dollars is extraordinary,” she noted. “Achieving this ‘superior' rating year after year is a clear reflection of our district's strategic approach to funding, which plays a crucial role in delivering top-notch education and fostering outstanding learning experiences for every student under our care.”
FIRST aims to promote exemplary management of financial resources in school districts, a challenge heightened by the intricacies of the school finance system in Texas. The initiative seeks to extend the accountability framework of public education to encompass financial operations.
Dan Schaefer, the Chief Financial Officer of Klein ISD, shared his pride in the team's sustained excellence. “Our finance team's consistent achievement of the ‘Superior Achievement' rating in the state's financial accountability system is a testament to Klein ISD's diligent financial practices,” he said. “This honor reflects our ongoing commitment to responsibly handling the funds entrusted to us by our taxpayers and the state.”
The FIRST rating system, introduced in the 1999 Texas Legislative session and implemented in 2003 for the 2001-2002 fiscal year, was designed to broaden the scope of accountability in public education to include financial services. Its chief aim is to ensure that Texas school districts manage their financial resources effectively.
A hearty congratulations to our exceptional Finance Team for their dedication and meticulous efforts in ensuring the sound management of our district's finances!
