Nicholas Roher is working for FCPS.

During the 2005-2006 school year, Nicholas Roher and Sohan Mostofa accumulated approximately $6,000 from selling musical instruments that were owned exclusively by Mt. Vernon High School. A lawsuit was filed against the two students, both plead guilty to felony grand larceny. In 2006, both were found guilty of one charge of misdeameanor larceny, and were placed on one year of active probation with 50 hours of required community service. Resulting from the incident, new policies dealing with security and removal of school property have been put into place, and the school has been fitted with cameras in and around the premises. However, it has been revealed that the cameras no longer function after 5:00 PM or 7:00 PM. This oversight has been taken advantage of by former students Lucien Campbell and Jason Guatam.

same guy! Now he works as a Long-term Sub for that school. anyone know why FCPS doesn't background check? he also in the arrest data base.

Go ruin your own life. Did they sell you one? If not quit bitching!

I googled teachers and was shocked at what some of them had done in their previous lives. If FCPS does background checks, they don't go very deep, or their standards are low. Especially the second-career ones.

You mean 2 kids who went to Mount Vernon stole something and plead it out to a misdemeanor and you don't think they are good enough to be a substitute as an adult. Thank God they didn't want to be Mayor of DC they would need to break a lot more laws to even be in the running.

Good for FCPS. Felons need jobs too, and when the only jobs they're able to get don't pay enough to live off of, they have no (real) other than to return to crime. The American justice system is broken, and the treatment of released felons is a large part of it.

This. It's not like they are child rapists, this guy in particular sold some stolen shit, whatever, how is that going to harm your children? Not to mention he plead guilty, is on probation and did the community service.

I don't think that a felony should automatically DQ someone from a job. The only way I believe a conviction should be applied towards most employment opportunities is if it is somehow relevant (eg, You don't want a bank robber working at a bank, or a child rapist working at a daycare center).

FCPS does check they ask if you aver broke the law and the explaination if you come clean and it s an old offense you can be hired . the would not hire anyone who they knew hurt kids

creeepy

Huh? Anonymous1, you say that "A lawsuit was filed against the two students". Lawsuits pertain to civil law, not criminal law. If these students reneged on a contract they had with FCPS to sell these instruments, then the school system could file a lawsuit against them. If they stole the instruments, then they are charged with a crime by the Commonwealth's Attorney. See the difference?

Next you state "both plead guilty to felony grand larceny. In 2006, both were found guilty of one charge of misdeameanor larceny". Surely they weren't tried and convicted for the same crime twice. And if they plead guilty to felony grand larceny, why would they have subsequently been found guilty of a misdeameanor? The Commonwealth's attorney must not have shown up in court that day.

You are mixing up your terms here, anonymous1. A felony and a misdeameanor are two different classifications of a crime, with misdeameanor being used to describe less severe ones that generally result in jail time or probation of one year or less. This is what you say.

Most likely, the students you name were minors when they committed this offense. If they were in high school at the time, which you imply, then there is only a 1 in 5 chance that they would be legally adults. Their records were then expunged when they turned 18. So there would probably not have been any record for FCPS to check.

If you are going to defame people, at least get your facts right. It will be your only protection against a tort of defamation.

Or someone working for a school who was convicted of stealing musical instruments from a school.

wonderful

Someone should do a FOIA request on how many male FCPS employees have suddenly retired/resigned in the last four years. Pedophiles aren't hanging at the local park like the Jethro Tull song, they're getting paid to creep. They need to polygraph all employees, especially males working in elementary schools.

Most of the support people they hire nowadays are immigrants. How do you do a background check on an applicant that is fresh off the boat from some third-world shithole?

After a couple years of only foreign school bus drivers that speak little or no English, I drive my kids now. I just don't see how they can check out these peoples' backgrounds. Janitors and food service people are the same way, but at least they aren't alone with our kids.

How much for an accordion? I would love to play "Lady of Spain".

Seriously! My kid's bus driver is from Somalia. Frickin Somalia! The place is run by tribal warlords! (our driver seems like a nice man but "Hi" is about the extent of his English)

Who the hell do you call in Somalia to find out if Mustafa is okay?

Lucien Campbell here, clean criminal record. Why am I being implicated in some kind of theft ring? Please take my name off of this.
