State auditors checking the records of a random sample of 100 city bus drivers have found that more than a quarter of them had criminal histories.

The audit also found that 26 of the drivers were never checked for child abuse histories -- in Pennsylvania schools, a mandate for all employees and even some volunteers.

Let me ask a dumb question.

If one commits a criminal offense, particularly when they are young and stupid, does that mean they are a criminal for life or is there some point where they can prove that they have seen the error of their ways?

I understand your perplexity. In this case, I think Casey is worrying about rape, pedophilia, or in essence sex crimes. I truly do not know if he can force the school to do these background checks on CONTRACTED vendors.
