get enough years in jail have finally learned his lesson in virginia beach. marcella robertson thirteen years now it's a national issue disgraced teachers fired from their jobs. switching districts to get back into the classroom. we're investigating what's happening to keep those convicted criminals away from your child and a foggy night will lead to a warmer minutes and every parent wants to make sure the person in their child's classroom to stress with a fragmented system of background checks and licensure standards however could mean predators end up teaching your children what safeguards are in place and what changes could be made to better protect your children investigative reporter laura geller joins us with a story you shouldn't miss while they're supposed to be the ideal role models the people you trust with your children everyday safe and honest but we've all heard the stories seen the mug shots of teachers who have preyed on innocent children. they're part of the nationwide usa today tag media dishonor role in their names splashed across the headlines with charges that disgust many people like allen high school teacher admits to engaging in a highly inappropriate relationship george brown pleaded guilty to allowing a student to perform oral sex on him. they're there to mentor our children can now share the good characteristics good morals good fx and obviously if he he is not doing that for children but what would happen if teachers like brown were able to game the system and move from district to district or state to state people have tried to do just that right here in virginia we got our hands on the state database which lists actions taken against teaching licenses by the virginia department of education include revocation suspensions and even denials you wouldn't believe some of the people who have tried to get into your child's classroom takes and ruby's march amour for example according to state records she wanted to teach in virginia but video we found out she had a founding case of child abuse misdemeanor assault and battery of minors we also found teachers have tried to transfer to virginia after getting in trouble teaching in other states it's called passing the trash. for example records show caring pens another state after an aggravated assault conviction but she still apply for license here in the commonwealth and was subsequently denied. so we went straight to the department of education to find out what checks are in place to protect your children parents and their children to school. expect those children to be say charles pyle is the agency director of communications so there's really no more important responsibility here at the department of education or out in the one hundred and thirty two school divisions that keeping kids safe. so how does it work when someone applies for a license to teach in virginia the department checks that person against the national clearinghouse. it's a list of discipline teachers maintained by a non profit also the only checks that list every month to see if any new names have popped up creating potential issues bought background checks are not done by the state when a license is issued according to state law that's done by when a job offer is made our national investigation shows that can be problematic in states where background checks are left to the localities we've seen more opportunity for problems and so called problem teachers allowed in classrooms where they shouldn't be. we checked in with the seven larger cities here in hampton roads the school district to maintain perspective employees are in fact background check before ever stepping in a classroom. it really is a shared responsibility. we can't be everywhere. we don't have individuals in every school division on looking over everyone's shoulder stakeholders including the virginia department of education. it met the system is not perfect there's no rule saying how or when state should use the database it is all voluntary. so some are pushing for federal requirements to streamline the system and make sure children are ultimately safe school like this that's really about protecting kids it seems like we could come up with with a clear consistent set of terms and rules so that that that information was easily shared across states also while d o e put some information about the license revocation. not all of the details are posted online. we for the information we've gathered on our website so you can make sure the people who are in your child's classroom are in fact supposed to be there. laura geller thirteen years now visibility being reduced still a big problem and some of the inland areas is getting a little better here in the immediate downtown norfolk area you can see it's very hazy very now again number of areas seeing the fog but this is a big improvement over what we saw earlier we could barely see pointing it straight down to the ground and now we can see again at least the lights the distance so and that's way high up it even better again down at the surface starting to notice the southerly winds carrying some moisture back into the region. we had of course the snow turning to this them freezing rain then rain and now things really been pretty quiet for several hours starting to get a little bit more rain working its way toward the area. the forecast for this morning spot on from evan yesterday was snow for the morning commute obviously that happened so that gives a six in a row how about tomorrow for st enters at least twenty degrees warmer during the midday and they work today in the middle part of the day so for the afternoon a few showers out there right now thirty nine. some showers with some fog again lifting to the north is this country's rise in the mid forties by nine and then will be way up there closer to fifty by midnight here. speaking of fifty that's what you are in elizabeth city right now is that warmer air is gradually moving and not a lot of rain during the overnight most of what rain we see tomorrow's middle part of the day as temperatures climb up near sixty and then things will clear out gradually during tomorrow afternoon before a weaker system moves and tomorrow night and early wednesday with a few more light showers and some chili or temperatures. these are the expected winds potentially up to forty mph or more out of the south southeast tomorrow as that front moves and and then behind it will still be blustery and will start to see some of the cold reading so that's one of our concerns for tomorrow is whether or not we do indeed see those gusty winds and notice how they start to come in on thursday dropping temperatures once again so here's the satellite and radar shot most of the heavy rains to west of us that gets ready to move in tomorrow. so ninety percent chance of showers at times during the day tomorrow maybe even a thunderstorm sixty one though and only forty nine on wednesday with a chance of a morning shower and couldn't be a mic shower forty three on thursday and sixty two and sunday. it's nice to find a look inside and no more
