Muncie Community Schools will now conduct its own background checks on school security job candidates prior to them being offered a position, WRTV Investigates has learned.
The change comes as the Delaware County prosecutor formally charged a man Wednesday who worked as a contracted security officer for Muncie Community Schools.
Delaware County prosecutors filed the charges, three felonies and a misdemeanor, on Jan. 4, records show. Court records show Thomas pleaded guilty in 2018 to two misdemeanors— False Informing and Possession of a Controlled Substance and was sentenced to a year probation and 50 hours of community service.
“How did a person with this record make it through the vetting process and become an armed MCS security guard?” wrote Hoffman. “I find this deeply troubling.”
