We are proud of our commitment to ensuring due diligence in managing our financial resources. This accomplishment reflects the values and principles we hold dear, ensuring that the resources entrusted to us are utilized wisely and effectively to benefit our students and community,” BISD Superintendent Gary Bitzkie said.
