State Auditor Rob Sand announced last week that Greene County CSD has been voted as the Best Performing 3A School District for the annual PIE (Public Innovation and Efficiencies) Award.
Greene County CSD has gone “the extra mile” over the last year to ensure that public tax dollars are used efficiently through the daily operations of the school district with improved heating and cooling systems, energy shutdown programs, lighting, and fire suppression systems. Greene County CSD has also worked to develop clear and efficient processes for staff evaluation and feedback, which has been implemented for the 2023-2024 school year.
Sand created the PIE program in 2019 to encourage public entities across Iowa to think outside the box and spark innovative ideas to save public funds.
The PIE program checklist provides local leaders with tools to collaborate and share their concepts, known as PIE recipes, via the Auditor of State’s website.
