Theft by school staff and officials is a topic that frequents media headlines. In Wildomore, California Jose Cavajal, an ex-Lake Elsinore Unified School District official has been charged with draining approximately $5,000 from a district purchasing account. Cavajal is being charged with one felony count of embezzlement for allegedly stealing the money after his employment ended in 2010. Cavajal served as a public information officer for the district and had access to the account.
PublicSchoolWORKS’ Fraud Reporting System, which is a part of its award-winning EmployeeSafe Suite, provides school staff with the ability to quickly report issues such as fraud, suspicious activity, harassment and other risk issues. Once a report has been entered, the system quickly notifies the appropriate people to intervene. This helps schools address situations that could otherwise go undetected for long periods of time before ever being investigated. Being able to intervene more quickly can help to limit the legal exposure often associated with these issues and can help administrators answer the question, “What did you do?” Has your school or district been a victim of employee fraud?
