Please tell me where you got this information. I am an Einstein parent.


Probably from Maryland Case Search. Its free online if you google it. It gives you all the public court records. DC and VA have some too.

What you are describing is a criminal history check. Not a background check. NO MCPS employees undergo a background check. All a criminal history check does is reveal if the candidate has ever been arrested before. (some counties do not contribute to the FBI database so even that is not 100% reliable). After that the employee is on his own. Unless the employee makes it known that he has been arrested the school system will never know.


When I worked for the county they did a criminal check when hired but never did regular ones. They need to do them every two years. They should also do a background check for all county and school employees. I knew several co-workers, one charged DV, one charged with child abuse, all working with kids and families.

In MCPS you have to self-report an arrest even if you haven’t been convicted. There a many teachers who have DUIs.

Being arrested without being convicted should not be counted, or at the least, it should depend on what the arrest was for. You can be arrested for murder but still be innocent of the charges. Should that person not be hired even though he was innocent? You are saying that an arrest = guilt?

They hired a guy with a drunk driving arrest to be a guidance counselor and he ends up getting arrested. Predictable.
