A brief respite

A front-page story in last week’s Delaware Gazette noted the adop­tion of a con­tract for “respite” ser­vices for juve­niles. The story incor­rectly reported that the con­tract was for $110,000 rather than its actual value of just $10,000 (the Gazette kindly printed a cor­rec­tion the fol­low­ing day) and the arti­cle didn’t have the space to go into the rea­sons behind the use of respite care and the source of the fund­ing used to pro­vide it.
