Hello! I have a weird question I am sure you do not get often, but I would appreciate any help.

Does DODEA drug test you when they hire you?

I teach in CA and I legally partook temporarily and am just wondering if I need to flush my system. I would never participate in drug activity while working for DODEA as I know they are strict on that as current employees and it is not something I do often.

I just don't want a mistake to get in the way of this job!

Thank you!!

SpEd_Eddie Dude, smoke as much as you want. Just be low key about it. DoDEA never piss tests, and I personally know of plenty of teachers in Europe that smoke on the reg.
