In Pennsylvania, a DUI is classified as a misdemeanor. Anyone under the age of 21, driving with a blood alcohol content of .02 or higher, can be charged with a DUI and processed like an adult. Anyone 21 years of age and older with a blood alcohol content of .08 or higher can be charged with a DUI. Because misdemeanor offenses are subject to background checks, they will be present on someone’s record. The state would reserve the right to deny the issuance of a teaching certificate to anyone charged with a DUI. Any school district would also reserve the right to deny employment based on convictions of a DUI.
