Complaint: The E-verify affidavit used and accepted by the City of Marietta Schools when it hired La Amistad Inc. to teach English to parents of students is not the proper form as per below Georgia law. Also, the affidavit illegally accepted and used was not notarized, contained no E-Verify user number and was not signed. This is a clear violation of the law.

Please also consider this to be my official request for any public records that reflect or illustrate all annual compliance audits and direct me to the posted results of these required audits of at least half of the reporting agencies.

OCGA 13-10-91

(6) It shall be the duty of the contractor to submit copies of all affidavits, drivers’ licenses, and identification cards required pursuant to this subsection to the public employer within five business days of receipt. No later than August 1, 2011, the Departments of Audits and Accounts shall create and post on its website form affidavits for the federal work authorization program. The affidavits shall require fields for the following information: the name of the project, the name of the contractor, subcontractor, or sub-subcontractor, the name of the public employer, and the employment eligibility information required pursuant to this subsection.

(7) (A) Public employers subject to the requirements of this subsection shall provide an annual report to the Department of Audits and Accounts pursuant to Code Section 50-36-4 as proof of compliance with this subsection. Subject to available funding, the state auditor shall conduct annual compliance audits on a minimum of at least one-half of the reporting agencies and publish the results of such audits annually on the Department of Audits and Accounts’ website on or before September 30.

(B) If the state auditor finds a political subdivision to be in violation of this subsection, such political subdivision shall be provided 30 days to demonstrate to the state auditor that such political subdivision has corrected all deficiencies and is in compliance with this subsection. If, after 30 days, the political subdivision has failed to correct all deficiencies, such political subdivision shall be excluded from the list of qualified local governments under Chapter 8 of Title 50 until such time as the political subdivision demonstrates to the state auditor that such political subdivision has corrected all deficiencies and is in compliance with this subsection.

Thank you,
