[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is DUI an offense for which they generally don’t hire?  I have some experience with doing background checks for other employers and it’s shocking how common they are — I’m not sure they are disqualifying for any job except police and one involving driving as a job duty.

DUIs were enough to get the Wheaton HS principal removed from admin and placed on unassigned duty in HR.

If principals aren’t allowed to have DUIs, why should teachers?[/quote]

That admin was already working for MCPS when those arrests happened. They didn’t remove her for DUIs that happened two years before she was hired.

This teacher should be fired, but I’m not sure her two arrests before hiring mean she never should have been hired in the first place.

I’ve never had a DUI, but I suspect there’s a fair number of people who work directly with children in some formal setting that had a DUI two years prior to hire. Would you fire them all?

And if that’s the standard for child endangerment, should we remove kids if their parents had a DUI before they even were born?[/quote]
