Stealing is a felony. And we had a principal who was convicted of stealing who was allowed to keep his job. There are many teachers who have been in jail for domestic violence who are teaching today. As long as you didn't molest a child, deal drugs, or murder someone, they will most likely not use the fact that you committed a felony as the only reason for not hiring you.

Most school districts ask applicants if they have ever been convicted and then will perform a criminal history check regardless of the answer. If you have a felony, no matter what the crime, most districts cannot hire you due to their board policy.

A convicted felon can teach so far as he/she is truthful in the application and the infraction was not something that would cause harm in anyway to students...time is a consideration. time heals all wounds.

Sex offenders, drug dealers, and violent criminals need not apply. Other than that, it can probably be waived, at least in places where the teacher shortage is most acute.
