CFB Awarded Certificate of Excellence for Financial Reporting
The Association of School Business Officials International (ASBO) is pleased to award Carrollton-Farmers Branch Independent School District the Certificate of Excellence in Financial Reporting (COE). ASBO International’s COE recognizes districts that have met the program’s high standards for financial reporting and transparency. The school district earned the Certificate of Excellence for its Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) for the fiscal year ended 2019.
“The COE’s mission is to promote and recognize excellence in financial reporting, specifically through a district’s CAFR,” ASBO International Executive Director David Lewis says. “The CAFR informs stakeholders about the financial and economic state of the district, making it an important communications tool for building trust and engaging with the school community.”
By participating in the COE program, school districts demonstrate their commitment to financial transparency. Applicants submit their CAFR for review by a team of financial professionals, who provide feedback to improve future documents. If the CAFR meets the requirements of the program, the document may receive the Certificate of Excellence. A district’s participation in the COE program can facilitate bond rating and continuing bond disclosure processes.
The COE is proudly sponsored by ASBO International Strategic Partner American Fidelity.

Never Stop Loving – CFBISD Teachers & Staff Connect with Students
CFBISD Teachers Continue the Love Despite School Closures
That moment during Spring Break, when schools shut their doors in the state of Texas… parents, students, the community felt learning was over. But when teachers in the Carrollton-Farmers Branch Independent School District face challenges… they keep fighting.
And when no one thought it was going to be possible—even educators themselves. Teachers in CFBISD kept the spark alive.
Teachers Empower Students by Being Connected
From being heartbroken, CFBISD found a way to empower our students. Teachers and principals made them feel connected. And they did it time and time again.
Through love… through compassion… through being connected…
Our educators found a way to continue the learning and continue loving their students.
If we have learned anything from our educators in CFBISD, it’s that no matter the circumstances, Together We Can!
Ranchview High School Alumni Wins Prestigious White House Correspondents’ Association Scholarship
The Carrollton-Farmers Branch Independent School District is proud to announce that Jessica Grider, Ranchview High School alumnus, has been awarded the Cokie Roberts Scholarship from the White House Correspondents’ Association.
The Cokie Roberts Scholarship is named for the veteran Congressional and political correspondent for NPR, PBS and ABC News.
Meet Scholarship Winner Jessica Grider
Grider is a Junior majoring in Broadcast Journalism and a Howard University Capstone Four Year Academic Scholar. She has interned at the BBC’s DC Bureau and is currently a College Associate at Fox News Channel, covering events in the Capitol Building.
She published an article, “Serving After the Storm”, featuring the hungry families that were in urgent need of proper aid after significant food stamp cuts complicated hurricane relief in Puerto Rico.
“Our 25 WHCA scholars this year are an impressive and ambitious group that should give us all hope for the next generation,” said WHCA president Jonathan Karl. “These are students from diverse backgrounds who have already accomplished a great deal. I have no doubt they will go on to do great things in journalism or whatever path they choose to pursue.”
What are the White House Correspondent Scholarships
According to the WHCA website, the WHCA began awarding scholarships in 1991. The association started helping journalism students in 1991, it has awarded more than $1.4 million in scholarships and leveraged another $1.2 million in aid.
The scholarships are financed by proceeds from the annual White House Correspondents’ Dinner and donations to the WHCA. This year we are especially grateful for donations from ABC News and Fox News.

Students, principals and families came together to celebrate the students and RBFCU brought lots of swag for the students and their families.
RBFCU supports public education. They offer many banking products and services while providing convenience and loyalty. Because CFBISD is a partner of RBFCU, our staff and families are eligible to receive these benefits available at all RBFCU locations.
