The general public is being encouraged to report any misuse of the Education Department’s federal funding to the U.S. Department of Education and the U.S. Department of the Interior Offices of the Inspector General, according to a press release issued Monday by the V.I. Department of Education (VIDE).
In an effort to continue meeting the mandates of the Compliance Agreement between the U.S. Department of Education and the Virgin Islands government, the VIDE is required to publicize the toll-free telephone numbers that residents can use to call in any misuse or fraud.
“These numbers are available to all schools, teachers, parents, participants of the adult and vocational programs, VIDE employees, all government agencies and other interested stakeholders,” said Education Commissioner Donna Frett-Gregory.
The numbers are:
U.S. Department of Education-Office of the Inspector General: 1-800-MISUSED
U.S. Department of the Interior-Office of the Inspector General: 1-800-424-5081
The public can also visit the U.S. Department of Education Office of the Inspector General’s Web site at: http://www2.ed.gov/about/offices/list/oig/hotline.html
