As for Florida requiring county by county checks...maybe some really bright Floridian will discover there are these things called "computers" which can be attached with "wires" so they can "share information" from county to county.
Amazing, I know, but true.

The idea of the checks is ok, the problem lies in the implementation.
Obviously you did read teh post very well.
there is no real plan in place as to who pays
Or how much
who controls the checks
the law requires a check in each county it doesn't matter if you fax the report of email it. NOT ALLOWED
How many officials work in the county in which you work?
We have between 500 and 600 in one county alone
Now add the rest of the state.
The schools can't afford it nor can the absorb the cost for their volunteers.
Does your state requre every delivery driver to the schools to have a background check?
I am willing to bet the don't.
Hell, the power companies will have to have teh checks in order to repair transformers on the grounds (Lightening is a huge factor here with hundreds of strikes a day, and lightening is a year round problem here)
