|
Escambia County School District Establishes a Fraud Hotline Effective November 8, 2013, the Escambia County School District is launching a third party fraud, waste, and abuse hotline. If anyone observes a situation within the district that appears to involve fraud, waste, abuse, theft or illegal activities, they are encouraged to make a report by calling toll-free 1-855-819-1248 or go to the online reporting tool at https://www.reportlineweb.com/escambia. Individuals will not be required to provide their name when calling the hotline. When placing a call, individuals are encouraged to provide as much information as possible about the abuse. The hotline is available 24 hours per day/7 days a week. Superintendent Thomas remarked “The School District is committed to upholding high expectations for the ethical conduct among its employees. The establishment of this hotline will serve as a tool to provide the support necessary to maintain the district’s integrity with taxpayers.” "The majority of fraud, waste and abuse that is detected and reported typically comes from inside sources. This establishment of a fraud, waste, and abuse hotline for the Escambia County School District, where individuals can anonymously report wrongdoing without the fear of retribution, will have a tremendously positive impact in curbing fraudulent, unlawful activity--which will ultimately result in better protection of taxpayer assets" commented Jeff Bergosh, Board Chair. |
