Important Alert for Families: Be Aware of Scams
We want to make you aware of a scam circulating in Monterey County. Families have reported receiving fraudulent phone calls from individuals falsely claiming to represent the Monterey County Office of Education and/or other school districts or school agencies. These callers allege truancy issues and demand $3,000 to avoid jail time.
To protect yourself:
- Verify any claims by contacting your child's school or the Monterey Peninsula Unified School District.
- Never provide financial or personal information to unsolicited callers.
- Report suspicious calls to local authorities, your school, or MPUSD.
If you have questions or concerns, please reach out to your child's school or MPUSD directly.
Let's stay vigilant and protect our community.
If you have questions about your child's attendance or truancy, you can always contact your child's school and/or our District Office at 831-645-1207.
