Know about fraud, waste, or abuse?

Tell us about it.

Maybe you are a school district employee, a parent, or just a concerned citizen.  Regardless, you can make a difference!

Maybe you know something about fraud, waste, or some other type of abuse in the school district.

You can call, e-mail, or write to us.  Please complete the Internal Board Audit Reporting Form, if possible.

NOTE: When reporting fraud, waste, or abuse, you may remain anonymous if you wish.  You are encouraged to identify yourself so that we may follow-up on your complaint via e-mail, telephone, or in person and obtain additional information that may be helpful to our review of the matter.  You are protected by law from reprisal by your employer.
