The Kentucky Association of School Business Officials recognizes outstanding KASBO members who exemplify professionalism, leadership, and innovation in the field of school business management. This recognition is called the Goldenrod Outstanding School Business Official Award. It is given annually to an individual who best represents exemplary practices and standards of school business in a Kentucky public school district. Our state winner is also recognized by the Southeastern Association of School Business Officials at its Annual Conference.
