The Lynbrook School District has been awarded a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting for its comprehensive annual financial report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020 by the Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada.

The report has been judged by an impartial panel to meet the high standards of the program, which includes demonstrating a constructive "spirit of full disclosure" to clearly communicate its financial story and motivate potential users and user groups to read the report.

The Certificate of Achievement is the highest form of recognition in the area of governmental accounting and financial reporting, and its attainment represents a significant accomplishment by a government and its management.

“We are honored to be recognized with the Certificate of Excellence for our financial reporting and transparency,” said Superintendent of Schools Dr. Melissa Burak. “As a district, we always strive to be fiscally responsible. Without the hard work of our business department, this award would not be possible.”
