Background checks for officials is a solution in search of a problem.

We aren't alone with kids. They need to give the head bagger at the local supermarket a background check before they do it to officials.

Catholic schools went into panic mode when the priest sex scandal broke and adopted all sorts of rules requiring everyone from cafeteria ladies to the principal to undergo training and checks so they could claim they checked everybody who had any contact with a child. It was a product of the lack of supervision by a variety of dioceses over priests and was equal parts prevention and public relations. Officials will soon be in the same boat after nitwit school board members try to grab some ink by proposing it. and anyone who objects will branded as having "something to hide." The thing is, the pervs are going after kids who they get in private after gaining their trust; they're not getting jobs reffing a ballgame in front of the kids' parents so they can get fresh with kids.
