DeKalb School Board Member Hasn’t Had Required Background Check

The public safety chief in a metro Atlanta school system says one of the school board members still hasn’t undergone a national background check that’s required for employees.

Board member Stan Jester said he received a background check from Dunwoody and DeKalb County Police. Jester has said that he believes undergoing the school system’s background check would be a conflict of interest, since he oversees the system as a board member.
