Report Fraud, Waste and Abuse
Arlington Independent School District utilizes a secure third-party website for reporting fraud, waste, and abuse, ensuring that all reporters remain anonymous. In addition, the system offers the option for reporters to provide an email address, enabling anonymous communication between the reporter and the District. This process maintains anonymity while allowing for follow-up and clarification as needed.
The more detailed information you can provide, the better chance the Office of Internal Audit will have of determining if an illegal act or violation of District policy has been committed.
