Didn't have anything to say about his hiring mistake......

It's a bit unfair to scrutinize Toby about this hire and not do the same to each of the other HC/AD who have hired him over the past several years while these same issues were present. Bass hired him a year ago at HJ, and several other districts in the years before. Clearly, it's a systemic problem that has permeated all of these districts in the area so trying to paint Foreman as the primary bad guy just because of the most recent issue seems a bit like recency bias. If social media is to be believed, the issue with Peveto and the young girl was a pretty well-known secret around HJ and Peveto's wife was the athletic secretary and Bass was in charge.

For clarification: schools run a background check from the DPS database. If that comes back "clear", the school check references. Former employers are only technically allowed to provide 1. dates of employment 2. eligible for rehire yes/no 3. they may also provide safety info for DOT sensitive positions. 

Anything beyond the above listed information can expose the former employer to legal trouble. If they reveal unsubstantiated or unverified rumor type information that prevents a former employee from being hired, they can be subject to lawsuits.

Not necessarily the case. If you're a prospective employee and you sign an "Employment Information Release" or "Authorization for Release of Information" with a prospective employer so they can vet you (pretty common practice these days), the document gives past employers explicit written permission to share details about your work history. It also acts as a liability release, protecting the previous company from lawsuits (such as defamation claims) for the information they provide.

The release authorizes the new employer to conduct a background check. It does not release a "former employer" to say things that are confidential outside of what was identified. In the event that a former employer provides unsubstantiated (rumor based or opinion) information that prevents a person from getting hired there is exposure regardless of any signed document.
