Background Checks are Preventative Maintenance

Carolina News 14 has running an story about the Charlotte Mecklenburg School districts background checking program for educators.

Last week, a teacher at Bruns Avenue Elementary was arrested for doing drugs in an empty classroom, earlier this week a former CMS teacher and current Lincoln county teacher was arrested on drug charges, and last month a Garringer High School teacher was arrested for drug possession.


Drug Testing for all teachers is now necessary to protect students. Of course, all employers and school districts must comply with FCRA regulations when implementing a background checking program.

    These checks should really just be the start, with some of the other new trends now facing perspective employees. The latest trend is what people have done / posted on online. Employers are now starting to scour perspective employees Social Networking sites such as Facebook, and MySpace to see what they are up to in their own time. Let alone their political views. Cheers.
