AND STUDY MODELS OF OFFICES OF THE INSPECTOR GENERAL (OIG) TO DETERMINE THE MERIT

throughout Federal, State and Local jurisdictions to establish OIGs. The purpose
of an OIG, as outlined in the Inspector General Act of 1978, is to “promote
economy, efficiency, and effectiveness and to prevent and detect fraud and abuse.”
In Chicago, investigations by the state Inspector General’s office prompted
the School Board to create its own Office of Investigations with full subpoena
and investigative powers. On February 8, 2000 the’los Angeles Unified School
District unanimously named its first’ independent OIG.
ACTION PROPOSED BY DR. MARTA PEREZ: That The School Board of Miami-Dade
County, Florida, establish a Task Force, composed of School Board Members or their

County Public Schools. The results of the Task Force study with recommendations

participation in government and other civic affairs, and allows employees elected

of the elected body.
ACTION PROPOSED BY DR. MARTA PEREZ: That The School Board of Miami-Dade
County, Florida, direct the Superintendent of Schools to revise School Board Rule
6Gx13-4E-1.09, Professional Leave, to state that effective July 1, 2000, employees
elected to serve in an elected body must use either accrued annual leave or authorized
