It’s not about worrying if they’re going to pass a background check or not. It’s about the state taking so long to have available appointments and then processing the background checks. People could be available to work the following week or in 2 weeks- but they can’t until they can get an appointment and then still have to wait for the background check to clear. Available appointments are weeks out.

Turnover is a whole different story. Teachers that come in now come in with too much expectation for kids. Childcare is a tough job, not just a paycheck.
