Silentwhistle on Audit Committee Agenda tonight

According to their posted agenda, link, APS' Audit Committee will "discuss" SilentWhistle; their whistleblower program.

According to APS School Board Policy B.07.d, link;
(in significant part, emphasis added)

"The Audit Committee reviews and recommends approval of ... any whistleblower complaints."

To date, they have not reviewed and approved even one complaint. More than 200 complaints are being denied due process.

The denial is the subject of an ongoing investigation by the Office of the State Auditor.

Because their SilentWhistle is nothing more than a forwarding mailbox that sends complaints made against administrators back to the same administration for adjudication, the check and balance provided by executive (school board) review is critical to addressing the obvious appearance of a conflict of interest.

The only defense for the ongoing denial of due process by the Audit Committee comes from its Chair David Robbins who wrote,
we are not breaking any federal laws.
