can a convicted felon teach school in georgia?

Answer 1

It can be grounds for a denial or revocation of a teaching license in the state of Georgia.

CRIMINAL CONVICTIONS

Teacher education students should be aware that "the Professional Standards Commission of Georgia is authorized to suspend, revoke, or deny certificates, licenses and permits, or to issue written reprimands, for good cause after an investigation is held and notice and a hearing are provided to the certificate, license or permit holder. Any one of the following grounds shall be considered good cause for suspension, revocation or denial of a certificate, license or permit, or the issuance of a written reprimand against the holder of a certificate, license or permit. (505-2.03)¼

Conviction, plea of guilty or a plea of nolo contendere for violation of a law punishable as a felony or misdemeanor other than a minor traffic violation."

The statement above is the legislative authorization for the Professional Standards Commission to deny the issuance of an educator certificate because of a criminal conviction. Candidates must report any such criminal convictions on their application for certification. In addition, school systems are now required to conduct a criminal background check of all new employees.

I hope so. It's so easy to be a felon these days. Make one mistake and they want to take away your rights for the rest of your life. I'd say a large portion of our population could be felons if they got caught doing something they've done in the past or if a risk they once took turned out different. We are all almost felons.

Anyone who has ever been drunk could be a felon. It's easy to make a drunken mistake.
