CDC members unconvinced on records checks

Full story: Bennington Banner

Student safety was the idea behind a proposal to have adult students undergo a background check before enrolling in Southwest Vermont Career Development Center day classes, but a number of board members don't believe the measure would provide any benefits.

As long as they check sex-offender status I think that is enough. I think most parents just don't want pedophiles going to school with our children. Someone convicted of a misdemeanor which could range from petty theft to trespassing doesn't propose an immediate threat to others. Sex offenders should know better than to enlist for day classses at the CDC but we all know they don't always follow the conditions that apply to them.

How does MAU check and control the criminal population there? They have kids with records for rape, assault and drugs. Ask johnson. He is an MAU employee who watches them. He is also making this an issue because his boss, Sue wants to take over the CDC -- so she can dump the kids she can't control into CDC classrooms and take CDC money to spend on MAU -- as was done before the CDC became a school onto itself.

We are all waiting Bennington Banner -- when are you going to tell everyone what the SVSU is doing on this issue? The CDC is doing more. You want sell papers, well there is your issue boys! Furthermore, the community needs to have a discussion about the students with records at MAU that no one can do anything about. Push for it boys. It will be a public service.
