People don't just slip through cracks... it's through others' negligence, criminal teachers have access to your children. Concerned?
Granted, we must grant the presumption of innocence to any defendant and Monica Snee is no exception; however, what does this say about the Wicomico County Board of Education and their vetting process for teachers and others within the schools who are around your children day in and day out?
While the WCBOE does do an FBI background check with fingerprints and all on teachers and substitutes, it's clearly not enough to prevent your child from being subject to an teaching drug dealer. Obviously, it would appear with this particular hiring, the powers that be didn't scrutinize any local court records for any criminal behavior. It also proves they don't do continual background follow-up like federal agencies perform on their employees (and families) every 3-4 years.
Is it really enough for your children's teachers to not be just child molesters?
All we ever hear about is the teachers who make inappropriate sexual advances and situations of extreme like the Snee case but nothing is ever said about other behaviors that would likely violate ethics clauses and cause parents to be concerned about who is around and teaching their kids for 6-7 hours a day, five days a week, 9 months a year. That's a lot of face time to not be worried about the possible criminality a teacher could be imparting on your kids.
This lack of due diligence isn't just happening in education. The medical field has the same problem in their vetting. You would be shocked at some of the medical personnel sent to people's homes to care for the elderly who possess misdemeanor convictions for identity theft and simple robbery. Earlier this summer, we saw where one Dove Point residential care person was indicted for first degree murder. Yet, many agencies still employ these people because they hold the appropriate licenses to provide home healthcare and nursing home facilities and are not on the federal law enforcement radar.
How many other teachers are out there with issues like protective orders for domestic violence or drug dealing convictions or identity theft? Do we even know? Does anyone at the WCBOE even know? Can we really depend on the local Board of Education to vet teachers or do we now have to it ourselves at the beginning of every school? Isn't that what we pay them to do with our tax money - regardless of whether we have school-age children or not?
