About 2,900 people who had surgery there are being given hiv, hepatitis b and c. After exposing 9,000 disciplined teachers missing from a National Database another story about cracks in the system, for years the man from colorado deceived a man from colorado deceived the state in several School Districts about his teaching qualifications. Tonight we continue with his dishonor roll, a look at troubled teachers who had no trouble getting back into classrooms. I hear from the things that ive done, answer to what ive done. Reporter if there was a College Degree for job deception i made my mistakes obviously. Reporter Daniel Garcia would perhaps have a phd. My hope is that something good comes out of this. Reporter he says hes reformed. There may be some people who the classroom. What do you say to those people . Walk a nile many my shoes. Reporter we found a mile in my shoe. Reporter we found garcia managed to walk into numerous classrooms based on lies on this guy was lying almost from the very beginning of his career. That is absolutely true. Reporter state education documents show garcia lied about having a masters degree, repeatedly lied about his job lift and lied at other schools when he history and lied at other schools when he was caught lying. Every single application was falsified from the very beginning. He was consistent in his falsification. Reporter we found his failure to disclose criminal charges did not stop him from teaching either. He was charged for writing a bad check to a teach are and another charge for forging a jeffco schools. I thought it was really strange and inappropriate and unprofessional. Reporter then there was that time he sent his students parents an email claiming he was adopting a child and asked for money. When Denver Public schools started investigating, he resigned. I would think that he would have learned his lesson and did not. Reporter he moved from district to district to district here in the denver metro area with all sorts of issues. Did those issues ever put you guys on notice saying hey, this guy is a problem . We never got notification and there are holes in the system. Reporter by our count, garcia deceived up to five School Districts here in the denver area and he managed to keep his teaching license despite resignation after resignation when caught, his deception didnt stop in colorado. He moved here to the seattle area and obtained a state teaching certificate. Washington had no idea about his questionable history. Garcia lied his way into seattle schools where he taught kids for two years until finally colorado, not washington, revoked his teaching license. His name was entered into a database of disciplined teachers putting washington on notice. Was it a mistake to put this guy in the classroom . He wasnt necessarily a danger to children. States for revoking your licenses . Can you blame them . Can you really blame them for what you did . Can i blame them for seeing just whats on paper . Absolutely not, but can i blame them for not listening and opening themself up to the entire story . Absolutely, yes. Reporter garcia says his lies came from his bipolar disorder. People dont understand how difficult it is to i have a mental illness. Reporter i do is to have a mental illness. Reporter i do want to be sensitive to any Mental Health issues you may have now or in the past, but is that appear excuse here . An excuse here . Absolutely not. Reporter there may be some audience members out here watching this tonight that may say hes a manipulator. Hes lying. Whats your reaction . People who know me and people who know the true Daniel Garcia know that im not a manipulator. Reporter its just strange that it just took so long for i agree with you, absolutely agree with you. Reporter the state says the story of Daniel Garcia should be a wakeup call for local districts to share more information with each other about troubled teachers and to share information with the state of colorado. So how did garcia get hired with a criminal history . Dont they do background checks . They sure do and this is really interesting. The two times Daniel Garcia faced criminal charges he received deferred sentences which means after serving probation his record was wiped clean. The system relies on teachers to be honest when answering the question have you ever been convicted or investigated for a crime . Garcia says he never disclosed his criminal charges on the advice of his attorney, but the rules are clear. You still got to be up front with the state. Absolutely. Even when you have a deferred sentence. All right. It was musics biggest night. The winners, the president who took home a grammy and von millers most valuable outfit. After a fire at colorados oldest church, parishioners see a new image on the wall. Who needs a sled dog when you have a cat willing to pull skiers through the snow . No snow for the front range at least this week. Kathy is tracking what could be record breaking temperatures. Reporter you got to figure it appears that tonights rockslide onto i70 in Glenwood Canyon could keep the interstate closed for some time. Colorado state patrol tweeted that the damage on the road is extensive and the delays could be extreme. Well keep you updated throughout the night. In the aftermath of a fire at colorados old s church an image caught the eye of parishioners. Electrical fire caused serious smoke damage at our lady of guadalupe fire. The same Church Caught fire on that date 90 years ago. The father noticed what appears to be a crown above the portrait of the virgin mary that appears smoke damage. The father said some parishioners say it appears to be a miracle and ask he leave it as it is. That church is 162 years old. Taylor swift had a great night in musics big he is night and in true taylor swift biggest night and in true taylor swift fashion, she appeared truly shocked for every award that came her way. She took home album of the year. Record of the year went to bruno mars for uptown funk and on this president s day jimmy carter won a grammy for best spoken word. How about the month that von miller has had so far, super bowl, parade, saturday night live . Tonight he showed up in a shiny jacket to be a presenter for the grammys.

A lot of this moisture is not hitting the ground but kind of an interesting weather scenario in one of our drier colder months, if you will. High pressure is anchored over the area. So the west is relatively quiet, but the eastern seaboard dealing with tornadoes, heavy rain, wind and snow. So difficult travel expected from jacksonville all the way up to the carolinas and northeast tomorrow. High pressure will bring us another day of sunshine and above average readings, i think less wind, but the trough of low pressure being carved out where all the action will be tomorrow, storm plowing up the northeast coast, low following behind it and cold arctic air settling in right behind this front of the were kind of on the fringe of all thattivity it, but as wind shift tomorrow out of the that activity, but as winds shift tomorrow out of the Southwest Well see highs in the 60s and warmer on thursday. If youre lucky maybe a little rain on the plains and then i think just with sunshine and less wind well have a warmer day, kind of quiet weather before the next storm takes aim at us late in the weekend. 30s on the a plan tonight, 20s on the plains tonight, 20s in the high country, above average for denver, greeley, sterling, better travel day for those of you headed up i70 late tonight or tomorrow. This latest little impulse will push out of here. Things will calm down. Enjoy the break from the cold, snow and hopefully the wind as we settle into a beautiful the winds will slowly decrease overnight, 32 degrees with the sun up about 7 00 tomorrow. 57 by lunchtime, low 60s in afternoon and warmer for the middle part of the week. Only a slight cooling trend for the end of the week and im watching something for sunday. Not all the models agree, but i think theres a chance for cooler weather sunday and a chance of a rain or snow shower, not a big storm. We bounce right back out of it monday and tuesday next week.
