The answer to your question is yes, someone with those charges can be a teacher. Ultimately though, it is up to the school district to decide whether they would hire a person or not. To my knowledge, there is no law against holding a teacher's certificate and having a criminal background that consists of misdemeanor nonviolent crimes.
The school district has the right to hire the most qualified person available, so if they are concerned they can hire somebody else. If the charges were a long time ago(several years), the school district probably won't read much into it. However if it was recent, they may reject the application, and look for somebody else.
The bottom line is, there is no law against holding a teacher's certificate while having committed misdemeanor nonviolent crimes. The school district or other hiring body, may hold against the applicant (especially if there are more qualified applicants), as they have every right to when hiring a qualified person.
