Q: Why does my OVI or Underage NOT show on BCI/FBI Background checks for school employment in Ohio?
In 2008, I received an OVI and Underage in the same year but not in the same counties. Anytime I have requested to pupil permit or teaching license that requires a BCI/FBI background check neither show up. I was under 21 at the time and have no further convictions or anything. I understand that these convictions are not automatic disqualifiers for employment in a district or Ohio teaching license
A: It's possible they simply weren't reported. The legal system is a bureaucracy like any other. It's also possible these cases were resolved with quick pleas in a mayor's court. Many of the mayor's courts do not put their records online or submit any information to databases so the only way to find the cases is to actually ask the mayor's court, which of course, requires knowing which on to ask.
