[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Misdemeanor DUIs 10 years apart may not be a disqualifying factor in the hiring process. MCPS is most concerned with violent acts, acts against children, ect.  More serious - probably all if not most felonies.

If they have the 360/continuous background checks done now, then anything new that pops up on their record should be sent to active employers.  But I do not know how they process checks.  [/quote]

Even if you want to hand wave the 2010 DUI, it’s hard to justify MCPS hiring someone for driving while under the influence of “a controlled dangerous substance” two years before she was hired. Especially since schools are legally mandated to be drug-free zones.[/quote]

Interesting. So would you suggest that anyone that has used illegal drugs should be prohibited from teaching?[/quote]

Yes absolutely.[/quote]

Great then every person that grew up and smoked weed or tried Ecstasy or or Adderall won’t be teaching anywhere in the U.S.  We’re going to lose a lot of good people.

And folks wonder why we don’t listen to them.[/quote]
