Battle Ground Public Schools Financial Leaders Honored By Their Peers - 05/24/21

Two Battle Ground Public School district leaders were recently honored by the Washington Association of School Business Professionals (WASBO).

Michelle Scott, the district’s new Chief Financial Officer, was recognized with the Circle of Excellence Award for Distinguished Business Official of the Year, which recognizes outstanding business officials who implement innovative projects, improve systems and efficiencies, and/or forge creative partnerships with their community and improve student learning.

While serving as Director of Business Services for the Hockinson School District, Scott helped to spearhead a budget advisory committee that focused on transparency. She also helped to secure $100,000 in grant funding for an adaptive playground and conducted a district-wide energy audit, which helped to secure matching funds to replace HVAC systems and building lighting. Scott’s nominator noted that she is “meticulous in everything she does,” and “her attention to detail is astounding.”

“It's truly an honor to be selected,” said Scott, who joined Battle Ground Public Schools as Chief Financial Officer this month.  “I am thankful to the ESD112 Team, WASBO Leadership, and all the business officials who have supported my development as a Certified School Business Official over the last 13 years.”

Mitch Thompson, the district’s Director of Business Operations and Risk Management, was also recognized. He received the 2021 Award of Merit, which honors a WASBO member who has gone above and beyond to help others and serve within the WASBO organization. Mitch served as the Legislative Affairs Committee Chair this past year and sits on the WASBO SEBB Advisory Committee.

“I've always felt that one of the best ways to grow personally is to share knowledge,” Thompson said. “I was surprised and honored to receive this award for serving within the WASBO organization. I don't serve for recognition, I serve for growth.”

Battle Ground Public Schools is proud to be home to such an amazing group of professionals striving together to inspire excellence by connecting every student to a positive future in a competitive global economy.
