The Alliance for Excellence in School Budgeting is a group of 100-plus school districts working on implementing GFOA’s Best Practices in School Budgeting. A part of the Smarter School Spending initiative, the Alliance first met in 2015 and includes a diverse group of districts from across the United States.
