About 350 New Jersey school board members are being forced to resign because they haven’t complied with a new law requiring them to undergo a background check:
The background check requirement was passed by the state legislature last year and is the only one of its kind in the country, according to the newspaper.
It requires board members to be measured by the same standards they use in hiring teachers, including undergoing a criminal background investigation.
Same rules for everybody — sounds fair to me. Hey, it’s for the children, right?
It’s a bit excessive and silly, however, that failure to comply with the law can result in jail time.
