What? A fraud hotline affecting public schools?

In yesterday's PG,
U.S. Attorney David J. Hickton announced today the creation of a reporting line for "spending irregularities, corruption in the contract and bidding process, theft and embezzlement of district funds, and bribery, kickbacks or other forms of illegal collusion with outside vendors" by schools.

Anyone aware of such behavior can call 412-894-7515, and can provide their name or report information anonymously. The U.S. Attorney's Office will then work with law enforcement agencies to investigate, where appropriate.
I am shocked.  A hotline to report spending irregularities of district funds?  Is there a need for such a thing in the Mt. Lebanon School District? HA!
