District Vehicle and Cell Phone Tracking

The Audit Findings from the 2015 Office of State Comptroller (OSC) indicated that supervision was minimal for employees that work out in the field and there were instances in which their wherabouts were questionable.  As an assurance measure, the District implemented a Corrective Action plan including but not limited to, usage of GPS tracking in District Vehicles and Cell Phones for all employees working out in the field, specifically in the Plant Department and IT Department.   It is primarily the Field employee's supervisor to monitor and track their staff's work schedule out in the schools.  However,  the Audit Department does additional audits and monitoring of employee travel out in the field during regular working hours to ensure compliance of the Corrective Action plan.
