About
Upstate Accountability is an independent, citizen-run platform that enables public employees, educators, and taxpayers to report concerns involving city, county, and state entities and other publicly funded organizations.
Scope
- Public schools and school districts
- Municipal, county, and state departments and boards
- Taxpayer-funded programs, grants, and contractors
Confidentiality & Safety
We respect the privacy of those who submit reports and do not disclose reporter identities to the entities being reported. While we take reasonable steps to protect confidentiality, no system can guarantee absolute anonymity. To reduce risk, avoid submitting sensitive personal details that are not required to describe your concern.
Fairness & Legal Notice
- We provide a channel for information; we do not publish unverified allegations as facts.
- Submissions may be reviewed for clarity, credibility, and public interest before any action.
- Not all submissions will result in follow-up or further action. Reports are evaluated for relevance, clarity, and credibility.
- When appropriate, credible information may be referred to relevant oversight or law-enforcement authorities.
- Nothing here constitutes legal advice. If you need legal guidance, consult an attorney or a qualified whistleblower resource.
