East Side Union High School District employees and Board members are expected to commit themselves to upholding the highest ethical standards while discharging the District’s business and academic affairs. East Side also has a responsibility for the stewardship of the resources entrusted to it. We are committed to being fully compliant with the laws and regulations to which the District is subject, and to promulgating policies and procedures to apply them. To help ensure full legal and regulatory compliance and maintain the highest ethical standards, the District has implemented a confidential Fraud, Waste & Abuse Hotline (hotline).
The hotline is not intended to be a substitute for communicating general complaints or suggestions, or employment–related grievances, since there are existing policies and procedures for resolution of these matters. While the District encourages face to face communication of questions or concerns about operations, it recognizes this is not always feasible. The Board believes a confidential hotline is a convenient and effective vehicle for certificated and classified staff, vendors and the community at large to report suspected fraud, waste and abuse without fear of retaliation. The District will not retaliate or permit retaliation against those who, in good faith, report suspected ethical or other violations.
The hotline service is hosted by a third-party provider, EthicsPoint, while the District’s Internal Auditor has overall responsibility for administration of the hotline. Both shall at all times maintain the confidentiality of complaints, their investigation and any associated documentation. Reports may be made anonymously, either on-line or to a toll-free telephone number. The portal on the District’s homepage has links to how to make a report, follow-up on a report and frequently asked questions.
Should you have any questions, please contact the Internal Auditor, Kelly Kwong, Senior Manager of Internal Controls, at 408-347-5300 or KwongK@esuhsd.org.
Sincerely,
Board of Trustees
