I'm not sure, but I think they are only looking for offenses that would indicate you would be dangerous with children (child abuse, child endangerment, etc). While I suppose a puritan could stretch your DUI into that realm, I think you are all right. Why not send an email to the school and let them know this might come up, and do they forsee a problem?

Shouldn't need a lawyer, but I am not a lawyer and recommend that you retain one:

Here is what I could find:

Following is from Act 114 of 2006, as amended.
24 PS 1-111 AS AMENDED (partial)

(e) No person subject to this act shall be employed in a public or private school, intermediate unit or area vocational-technical school where the report of criminal history record information indicates the applicant has been convicted, within five (5) years immediately preceding the date of the report, of any of the following offenses:

(1) An offense under one or more of the following provisions of Title 18 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes:

Chapter 25 (relating to criminal homicide).
Section 2702 (relating to aggravated assault).
Former section 2709(b) (relating to stalking).
Section 2709.1 (relating to stalking).
Section 2901 (relating to kidnapping).

Section 6301 (relating to corruption of minors).
Section 6312 (relating to sexual abuse of children).

(2) An offense designated as a felony under the act of April 14, 1972 (P.L. 233, No. 64), known as "The Controlled Substance, Drug, Device and Cosmetic Act."
(3) An out-of-State or Federal offense similar in nature to those crimes listed in clauses (1) and (2).

I think you are good to go, but I would make sure with a lawyer if you have questions.

Life happens. I think where people get themselves into trouble is trying to lie/conceal an arrest. Be honest and have a succinct and thought out response if they ask you about it.

This. There's no need to unnecessarily over-disclose when the information is irrelevant to the discussion, but you also definitely don't want to hide (or come across as hiding) the incident. As T4C mentioned, simply be honest if asked, and have a pre-planned response ready to go.
