Reporting Fraud, Waste and Abuse

The OIGE operates a Hotline so anyone can easily report allegations of fraud, waste, abuse, or financial misconduct occurring within the State. The OIGE receives numerous reports from concerned employees, vendors, and the public, most of which are either investigated by the OIGE or referred to local school system administrators for investigation and disposition.

Complaints regarding personnel matters and/or management are typically not investigated by the OIGE unless there is evidence of wrongdoing. To ensure that your report is given adequate attention, you must provide reliable, accurate, and detailed information.

Prior to submitting a report, make sure you have the correct spelling of names, employee and vendor numbers (if available), position and program titles, work location, special funding source (e.g., Title I, etc.), and any other pertinent detail. This will ensure that your report is handled properly.
