Transparency Stars (Debt Obligation)

Midlothian ISD is Committed to Financial Transparency 

The mission of the Finance Office of the Midlothian Independent School District is to manage the school district’s financial operations in the most trustworthy and transparent method possible.   The Finance Office is responsible for the District’s fiscal operations including accounting and financial reporting, accounts payable, investments, purchasing, budgeting, internal controls, financial planning, debt management, and facilities management.

The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts launched the “Transparency Stars Program” in 2016 to recognize local governments across Texas that are striving to meet the high standard for financial transparency online.   The “Transparency Stars Program” recognizes local government entities that provide easy online access to important financial data.
