A month after the state accused Trenton public school officials of fabricating student transcripts, another state investigation has shown that 350 district employees might not have cleared a required criminal background check.
A state Department of Education audit made public this week found that 114 people, nearly half of them teachers, substitute teachers or classroom aides, may not have been fingerprinted.
In addition, there is no documentation to prove that 236 other employees passed a criminal background check, according to the report.
