[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The need to actually do a real background check on all MCPS employees, including a finger print.

Why?  Because most of the people who are committing these crimes have done it before but have not been caught.  For whatever the reason they are able to get away with it, the kids don't talk, they are scared to talk etc.  But if their finger prints are required to be on record, chances are they will never apply in fears that at sometime in the past they left a finger print in the past.  The county is too cheap to actually do this so this is what we are left with.  [/quote]

MCPS employee here. Fingerprinting is already a part of the background check. In most of these cases it seems like these people are getting caught for the first time, so even yearly checks might not help. Frankly, I'd like to see some kind of system in place for monitoring suspicious employees. I've known teachers who I get a bad feeling about and there is nothing to do but watch and be ready to report.[/quote]

Thanks for writing in.  I didn't want to say this because I am not an employee, but given that parents who chaperone a field trip that extends outside the school day (like returning at 8pm or overnights) have to be fingerprinted, I am pretty sure all employees who have any contact with kids are also fingerprinted.
