Should the official choose to stop officiating, he/she can apply to have the fingerprints destroyed.    
Contrary to what many have argued, merely having a prior conviction doesn't bar officials from certification.  The Dept of Ed takes into account the nature of the crime and when occurred.    
Aside from having to pay around $100 for this, there really haven't been any problems.   |
