Team 5's review of state records in the last three years found 16 percent of the teachers whose licenses had been revoked had criminal convictions which their school districts and the state didn't know about because proper background checks weren't done.
"It's very troubling," said Mitchell Chester, commissioner of the Massachusetts department of elementary and secondary education. "We have zero tolerance for that kind of behavior and we're very aggressive in going after those individuals," said Chester.
Former Medford High School teacher Mark Smith lost his teaching license last year after allegations surfaced he sexually abused a former female student.
Records show Smith also lied on his renewal application in 1999 claiming he was never convicted of any crimes, even though he pleaded guilty to assault and battery in 1983.
"We'd like to ask you some questions about your teaching license?" asked Curran.
"No, thank you," said Smith.
"You were convicted of assault and battery but then on your license you lied," asked Curran.

Smith declined comment.
