“The system has been working with the auditor and following its directions,” said spokesman John White, who described the hotline information as well-publicized. The county’s graduation rates gained attention several months ago after the board’s minority bloc wrote to Gov. They alleged the district had engaged in “widespread systemic corruption” that inflated graduation rates since 2014. Late Monday afternoon, the full board emailed a notice of the hotline and email address through its member listservs. Several employees interviewed by The Post late Monday and Tuesday said they never received information about the hotline or procedures for reporting potential improprieties.
