Teacher Slips Through Background Checks
KENTUCKY....
Despite performing standard background checks, it appears the Greenup County School District failed to realize that a former substitute teacher had a felony conviction related to bounced checks in Ohio. Until being brought to their attention by a concerned parent, District Superintendent Randy Hughes says the conviction failed to show up on Kentucky State Police or FBI checks. Hughes says the district may have to broaden its checks for applicants to include Ohio and West Virginia.
