Program Description: The Donald J. Johnson Operational and Cost Efficiency Award recognizes schools/districts for cost efficient approaches to enhancing operations that commonly tax them, and that can be replicated throughout the Commonwealth.

Sponsor: MASBO is grateful for its partnership with the leadership team at VOYA Financial who, through their generosity, have made this extremely prestigious award possible.

Selection Process: Any individual or group who can effectively document and support the accomplishments of the school/district being nominated is invited to submit a nomination. The MASBO Board of Directors' Award Subcommittee determines the award selection.

Award: The recipient receives a plaque to commemorate the award. The school/district receives a $2,500 student scholarship award.
