Malakoff ISD Superintendent Randy Perry announced today that the school district has been presented the Texas Comptroller’s “Gold Leadership Circle Award” for the fourth straight year.
The award recognizes “local governments across Texas that are striving to meet a high standard for financial transparency online.”
As both a reporter and a taxpayer, I appreciate when officials make it easy to follow the money, and Malakoff ISD has scored the highest marks for transparency for four consecutive years.
“Congratulations to Business Manager Mary Ferguson and the business office for this distinction,” Perry said. “I am thankful for all of their hard work. Great things are happening at Malakoff ISD.”
According to the Texas Comptroller’s website, Eustace ISD is the only other Gold Circle award winner, and EISD has earned the award at least three straight years.
