Conroe ISD Earns 5th-Straight TASBO Award of Merit

AUSTIN, TX – Conroe ISD is proud to be recognized for a fifth-straight year by the Texas Association of School Business Officials (TASBO) with the 2024 Award of Merit for Purchasing Operations. The Award of Merit was established in 2009 to recognize Texas school districts, open-enrollment charter schools, and education services centers that are committed to following professional standards in the acquisition of goods and services.

Each year, volunteers with the TASBO Purchasing & Supply Management Research Committee evaluate the award criteria to ensure it represents the latest best practices. They then review new and recertifications applications. For 2024, only 77 recipients (out of more than 1,200 school systems) met the stringent criteria to qualify for the award.
