Summary:

School business officials are known for their innovative, meaningful contributions to the improvement of their profession and the efficiency of school entities. The ASBO International Pinnacle Awards were established to recognize outstanding practices and new ideas that result in significant contributions to school entities. Successful applications have focused on areas such as budgeting, construction, cost savings, energy conservation, resource reallocation, safety, transportation, and technology. The profiles of Pinnacle Award applications in this book are intended to provide school business officials with specific ideas to save money or improve processes in a variety of areas related to the day-to-day operation of schools.
