[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was hired as a teacher in another county about 10 years ago. No background check. The people I’d listed as references never got a call. For comparison—prior to this I’d worked as waitress at an establishment that did a background check and drug testing. Interviewed all my references. When we hear about teachers with criminal records I’m honestly just surprised it doesn’t happen more. [b]We’re kind of just on the honor system.[/quote][/b] FCPS does intensive background checks even if you just want to volunteer in the school, let alone teach and everyone is fingerprinted etc. What I think they will be re-examining is how closely they monitor after you are hired--they monitor now, but that there was a 2 year gap is telling. It's hard to know if the 2 year gap was because of pandemic breakdown in monitoring processes (either in the reporting from the courts or the monitoring by FCPS) or a more ongoing problem.[/quote]
