                         HON. GEORGE RADANOVICH

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, February 27, 2001

  Mr. RADANOVICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Clovis Unified 
School District for receiving the Meritorious Budget Award. The 
Association of School Business Officials (ASBO) International is given 
for excellence in the preparation and issuance of a school system 
annual budget.
  ASBO International and school business management professionals 
designed the Meritorious Budget Awards Program to enable school 
business administrators to achieve a standard of excellence in budget 
presentation. This program has helped school systems build a solid 
foundation in the skills of developing, analyzing, and presenting a 
budget.
  The Meritorious Budget Award is only given to school districts that 
have met or exceeded the Meritorious Budget Award Program Criteria. 
This is the only award program that is specifically designed to enhance 
school budgeting and honor a school system for a job well done.
  The Association of School Business Officials International, founded 
in 1910, is a professional association that provides programs and 
services to promote the highest standards of school business management 
practices, professional growth, and the effective use of educational 
resources.
  Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize Clovis Unified School District for 
receiving the Meritorious Budget Award. I urge my colleagues to join me 
in wishing Clovis Unified School District many more years of continued 
success.
