Audit committee hears ethical-advocate report; 97 whistleblower complaints noted
Summary
The committee received an ethical-advocate report showing fewer reports than the prior year and a stated total of 97 whistleblower complaints covering a period beginning July 1, 2024; the transcript does not specify the end date for that total.
Courtney Jackson, chairman of the Board of Education Audit Committee, received an ethical-advocate statistics report July 22 covering April 1 through June 30, 2025. The presenters were Johanna King, chief of staff, and Jean Saavedra, executive director of the Student, Parent and Employee Service Center.
Jean Saavedra told the committee, "we've received a total of 97 whistleblower complaints from 07/01/2024 to the June." The transcript does not specify the exact June end date associated with that total. Saavedra said the report in the committee packets breaks the complaints into categories and that the number of reports in the current reporting period is lower than in the same timeframe the prior year.
Board member Josefina Dominguez asked whether there were any notable trends. Saavedra replied, "No no particular trends. I mean, the data kinda breaks it down in the categories. So, looking at the data, it's it's pretty similar to years past, although the numbers are lower." No formal action was taken on the ethical-advocate report during the meeting.
The data Saavedra referenced covered the three-month reporting period April 1, 2025, through June 30, 2025; the committee packet reportedly includes a breakdown by category but the transcript does not provide the category totals or the unspecified June end date for the 97-complaint total. The committee moved on to an executive-session request after the questions concluded.
