That's what I was trying to say in my post. Anybody who has worked in a school knows that districts are very touchy when it comes to liability. If she gets hurt, or worse, sued by a parent, during the time she is getting paid by the teacher, who's liable? Not the district. I wouldn't touch that with a ten foot pole if I was the para or the teacher. If they find out the teacher was paying her, is she the employee of the teacher or an independent contractor? Either way, the district isn't going to be covering liability in that situation.
