Delaware State Auditor Kathy McGuiness found paraprofessionals in the Christina School District were among the top school district and charter school overtime earners for Fiscal Years 2016 and 2017, receiving more than twice the overtime rate paraprofessionals earned in other school districts due to differing interpretations of federal labor law. Much of the Christina paraprofessionals’ overtime work came providing respite services offered through the Delaware Autism Program.
