State Representatives Call On The Attorney General’s Office To Expedite Its Criminal Investigation Of Christina School District
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE October 19, 2006
Contact: Stephanie Mantegna, House of Representatives, 302-577-8515
Rep. Greg Lavelle, 302-478-6128
Rep. Stephanie Ulbrich, 302-368-5122
State Representatives Gregory F. Lavelle (R-Sharpley) and Stephanie A. Ulbrich (R-Newark) today called on the Delaware Attorney General’s Office to include as part of its criminal investigation of the Christina School District the latest audit results showing the district mis-spent $2.8 million in tuition taxes, intended for special needs students, on unauthorized expenses including salaries.
Reps. Ulbrich and Lavelle announced that they are strongly urging Attorney General Carl Danberg to look into whether there were any criminal violations when the Christina District used tuition tax money meant for the education of special needs students on expenses that included renovation work and salaries for non-tuition program staff. The State Audit covered the period between July 1, 2005 and April 30, 2006.
Rep. Ulbrich stated, “This latest audit report from the State Auditor should be added to the list of issues Attorney General Danberg considers as he investigates alleged criminal behavior on the part of Christina School District officials. Given the nature of this particular matter and the expected public outrage over another Christina financial mis-step, I call on the Attorney General to expedite his investigation of the entire Christina situation.”
According to Rep. Lavelle, “As the father of a special needs child, I am thoroughly disappointed to hear that an audit has revealed that the tuition tax was being used inappropriately by Christina. This is just one more thing in a long list of blunders by the district and this latest announcement, hopefully, will put the Attorney General’s criminal investigation on the fast track.”
Rep. Lavelle also said, “I also believe that the tuition tax funding mechanism should be reviewed and overhauled, if need be.”
