| A background check only reports on what you’ve been caught at doing before the date the check is done. It’s not going to catch most bad behavior. |
|
Mcps sent out a background check message to families (the week they know families are vacationing) to get ahead of news releases. |
|
Kirk Shipley's first arrest was the one that got him fired and jail time.
Max Bero's first arrest was the one that got him fired and jail time. Not sure that background checks would have made a difference in all of the cases. |
| What about substitute teachers? Require teachers to send an email home to let families know if that teacher is expected to be out certain day(s) and give the name of the substitute teacher to the parents. If you don't have a sub until morning of, an assistant Principal sends out a message to families. |
Sub paras too |
Thanks Chris Cram. Now talk about the cases you covered up. Need reminders? |
At my work (security) they run background checks on us annually for that reason. |
Here is a nice coverup from 2022. https://parentscoalitionmc.blogspot.com/search/label/Richard%20Scherer |

From Parents Coalition of Montgomery County:
Breaking**Inspector General: "Actions of MCPS senior leaders do not demonstrate either accountability or transparency." Report on MCPS Failure to Background Check Staff/Contractors/Volunteers. |
| Given the ongoing fiscal mismanagement and their apparent inability to conduct even a basic background check, it’s clear that MCPS can no longer function as a self-sufficient entity. At this point, state oversight is not just warranted—it’s necessary. |
Neighbors had asked their schools about substitut teachers. The F onus should not be on little Larlo to ask the full name of a substitute teacher, remember to write it down, know how substitute teacher Mr.Z's name is spelled, or to tell their parents how it is. The parents have a right to know who is teaching in their kid's classrooms. School provides names of regular teachers, do the same when there are substitutes, para educators and their subs, volunteers, interns, high school student, supervisor et al.. |
