    Becoming a School Teacher with a Felony
    My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: Virginia

    I have a friend just convicted of Felony Embezzlement, Virginia Code 18.2-111, and is in a program to become a public school teacher. It really gets messy as her program pays for her schooling for 4 years of service. I don't believe she will be able to work for them with a felony on her record. Anyone know if Virginia public schools will hire a convicted felon convicted of a white collar crime?

    Nevermind, I found my answer in the Virginia Education Code. If anyone is interested, here is what it states:

    http://law.justia.com/virginia/codes...2.1-296.1.html

    Quote:

    22.1-296.1. Data on convictions for certain crimes and child abuse and neglect required; penalty.

    A. As a condition of employment for all of its public school employees, whether full-time or part-time, permanent, or temporary, every school board shall require on its application for employment certification (i) that the applicant has not been convicted of a felony or any offense involving the sexual molestation, physical or sexual abuse or rape of a child; and (ii) whether the applicant has been convicted of a crime of moral turpitude. Any person making a materially false statement regarding any such offense shall be guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor and upon conviction, the fact of said conviction shall be grounds for the Board of Education to revoke such person's license to teach.

    Maybe she can work at a cathloic school or some other type of private school. She might be wasting 4 years if she can't be hired as a teacher.
