Boyd ISD earns "Superior" rating for Financial Integrity

 

Boyd ISD has earned a “Superior” rating from the Financial Integrity Rating System of Texas (FIRST), upholding our excellence in financial accountability. The 2022-2023 rating is based on 2021-2022 district data. There are 4 rankings offered with superior being the highest designation that a district can earn. The Texas Education Agency developed School FIRST ratings in response to legislation and ratings were issued for the first time in 2002-2003. The primary goals of the rating are to ensure that Texas public schools are held accountable for the quality of their financial management practices and that they improve those practices. Texas public schools are encouraged to better manage their financial resources to provide the maximum allocation possible for direct instructional purposes.

FIRST Rating (Financial Integrity Rating System of Texas)

All Texas public school districts are required to report the results of the state's financial accountability system each year. This system (FIRST) is designed to provide transparency, meaningful oversight and encourage improvement for school district's financial performance and is done according to TEC, Chapter 39, Subchapter D.

Check Registers

Boyd ISD is committed to managing the District’s resources in a fiscally responsible and transparent manner. The District endeavors to provide relevant and timely information to assist tax payers in making informed decisions and understanding how their tax dollars are spent.

Boyd ISD has been the target of several failed phishing attempts.  There have also been multiple cases of fraudulent activity involving Texas public school districts resulting in significant loss of public funds. Public entities have become prime targets due to the amount of information readily accessible.

Due to the fact that the publication of detailed information on school district websites containing vendors and amounts paid can provide perpetrators with information necessary to launch sophisticated phishing attacks, posting of school district check registers are no longer required.

We remain vigilant in our efforts to safeguard the District’s resources and must weigh the inherent risk of misuse against the overarching benefit of the information intended for our stakeholders. The District will no longer post the accounts payable check register online.

As an alternative to posting, interested citizens can submit a request for these reports by clicking this link to submit a public information request. We will promptly send the reports directly to the contact e-mail listed once the validity of the request has been verified.

Thank you for your understanding.
