HCDE’s Purchasing division received its 12th Purchasing Award of Merit from the Texas Association of School Business Officials (TASBO). The award recognizes Texas school districts, open-enrollment charters, and education service centers committed to following professional standards in acquiring goods and services.  

“We are extremely proud to receive the TASBO Award of Merit because it recognizes public educational entities in outstanding procurement practices,” said Purchasing Director Kendra Jackson. “There are approximately 1,200 school districts that are eligible for this distinguished award, and HCDE is one of the few recipients this year.”  

HCDE’S purchasing team will be recognized for its accomplishment on Wednesday, March 2, during the annual TASBO Engage Conference in Grapevine, Texas.
