They should have been doing this all along.

I totally agree. This is a good idea. It has been too long in coming. The DISD needs a lot of house cleaning.

The kids get into alot of trouble all on their own they don't need any adults to infulance them to make bad decisions they will regret for the rest of their lifes. These kids look to them for support and guidance not to be taken advantage of them by these pedofiles.

For once I agree with you, PM. I am already fingerprinted as a nurse, so being fingerprinted for DISD is no big deal.

I just wonder how many employees will lose their jobs.....hope the substitute pool is as large as they say it is!

PM...look at all of us agreeing! This must be some type of record. lol

Yes ... fingerprint if that will help keep our children safe.

My daughter(she's 9) and her friend went to a mesquite school last night and some bullies were hitting them, knocking them down and kicking them. We got a police report and will be at that school monday morning. I wonder if the school fingerprinted the company they allowed on their property to hold the even. As you can imagine...we are pretty upset. There has got to be a way to keep the kids safe at school functions

Delusions, you are sick and twisted. There is something serously wrong with your thinking.
You think it is discriminatory to protect kids from pedofiles, and that includes teenagers. You obviously have no regard for people who have survived molestation by men or women. Pedofiles can be and are educated, but their place in society is away from kids, all kids.

I believe most districts will be doing this by the end of the year. Our district has told us it was coming. I think new hires had to do it as a matter of the interview process. If you don't have anything to hide, then there's nothing to worry about. I am sick of pedophiles getting away with this type of thing. It is so hard to work in a school where this happens. And I hate how they make the females that do this into tabloid celebrities. It's a sick society.

Fingerprints are a great idea. The only ones to complain are the ones that have something to hide. And its not just molesters. Now if they will do something about teachers who can't pass their certification tests, it will be much better. Dallas had some that had failed them as many as 11 times.

Not just DISD employees but the contractors that are hired by the district need to have background available and i'd even say fingerprinting. People that bring in and load the snack machines, set up for carnivals, dances, you name it.
