The teacher was recruited in Mexico by WISD. Please remover illegal from the title. Thanks!

Waco ISD now stocked with bilingual teachers

In recent years, the shortage sent WISD officials to Monterrey, Mexico, to recruit bilingual teachers through the Region 4 Education Service Center international teacher certification program.

In three years, the district hired about 20 Mexican teachers.

The school board voted in March to stop the practice of hiring internationally until officials can be assured the candidates undergo rigorous background checks.

The decision arose after bilingual kindergarten teacher Fernando Campos was arrested by Waco police on child sex abuse charges.

Campos was recruited through the Region 4 program.

That means he was here ‘legally’....which is even worse!

Wait just a minute. If WISD had this big of a problem, then how about stopping the infection rather than merely slapping a band aid on it. WISD has student birth certificates and know which students are there illegally bringing down the quality of education and milking the tax payers. Why didn't they turn over their records to ICE and not have to go to Mexico for teachers? If nothing else, it would have saved them headlines and law suites.

American teachers must undergo rigorous background checks. Now that Waco has enough foreigners in classrooms, they're going to generously postpone hiring more foreigners without background checks.
