Houston charter school shut over background checks

State officials have ordered the temporary closure of a charter school in northeast Houston after finding that some employees did not have to undergo required criminal background checks.

Children First Academy also drew criticism from the Texas Education Agency for failing to report an alleged incident of child abuse at its Dallas campus in May.

Both the Houston and Dallas campuses may be allowed to reopen if they show proof of fingerprinting employees and conducting required national background checks, said DeEtta Culbertson, a spokeswoman for the education agency.

An appeal hearing is scheduled for Thursday in Austin.
