San Angelo ISD Acknowledged for Achieving Texas Comptroller Standards

SAN ANGELO, TX- Texas Comptroller Glenn Hegar acknowledged San Angelo ISD for achieving the goals set by the Comptroller’s Transparency Stars program. 

Transparency Stars recognizes local government entities that provide easy online access to important financial data. The district received a star in the area of Traditional Finances for its outstanding efforts in making spending and revenue information available.

“By providing meaningful financial data, in addition to visual tools and analysis of its revenues and expenditures, San Angelo ISD has shown a true commitment to Texas taxpayers. This effort achieves the goals set by my office’s Transparency Stars program,” Hegar said. “I am pleased to award San Angelo [its] first star in the new program for its accomplishments.”

The Comptroller’s office launched the Transparency Stars program in March to recognize cities, counties and school districts making important strides to greater government transparency. San Angelo ISD is now the 21^st school district (out of 1,025) in the state to achieve the new recognition, according to the San Angelo ISD press release.

Assistant Superintendent Dr. Jeff Bright sent accolades to the school board for their commitment to do things right and, specifically, staff members Jack Wilcox and Rebecca Hopkins for their efforts toward fulfilling the goals of the program.

“There are so many that help make this happen. I am very proud for our employees, the district, and our community members that support the efforts of San Angelo ISD. I know we will continue to work hard and improve every chance we get,” Bright said.

After receiving an initial star for Traditional Finances, remaining stars may be awarded in the future.
