Online Form for Reporting Ethics Violations

Ethics Violations Reporting Form

The Legal Department has developed an online reporting form to provide employees the opportunity to report violations of the following TUSD Board policies and other ethics violations:

While anonymous complaints are accepted, the district will only investigate credible reports. Wherever possible, provide as much detail as possible.

If you do choose to provide your name and contact information, be advised that the district's anti-retaliation policy, Policy GBP - Prohibited Personnel Practices, protects all employees from retaliation for making good faith reports through this online form.

A link to this form has been added to the Quick Links at the right.
