Liberty Hill ISD Purchasing department earns prestigious Award of Merit

LIBERTY HILL, Texas – The Liberty Hill ISD Purchasing Department has been recognized by the Texas Association of School Business Officials (TASBO) with the 2025 Award of Merit for Purchasing Operations, marking the district’s fifth consecutive year receiving this honor. Established in 2009, the Award of Merit recognizes Texas school districts, open-enrollment charter schools, and education service centers that demonstrate excellence in the acquisition of goods and services while adhering to professional standards. For 2025, only 80 recipients statewide met the criteria for this recognition.

“We’re proud of the work our honorees do to streamline school purchasing operations, comply with regulations, and set the standard for how to utilize taxpayer dollars,” said Tracy Ginsburg, TASBO executive director. “These organizations have not only demonstrated their professional acumen by documenting their districts’ policies and procedures but have also shared these best practices with colleagues throughout Texas.”

LHISD Chief Financial Officer Rosanna Guerrero and Purchasing Coordinator Kim Chappius accepted the award during the 2025 TASBO Annual Conference in Austin on Feb. 26.
