Drug and Substance Abuse Policy. It is the District’s policy to prohibit its employees from using illegal drugs (as used herein, the term “illegal drugs” includes but is not limited to marijuana, whether obtained by prescription or not) or alcohol in connection with their employment, as it constitutes a threat to the safe and efficient performance of our service. It is likewise the District’s policy to take reasonable and appropriate measures designed to minimize the risk to the public and employee health and safety due to alcohol or drug related impairment. The District will maintain pre-employment screening practices for employees designated as safety sensitive designed to prevent hiring individuals who use illegal drugs or individuals whose use of drugs or alcohol indicates a potential for impaired or unsafe job performance. If the applicant is under age 18, a consent form must be signed by the employee’s parent or guardian prior to screening. All offers of employment, for safety sensitive positions, extended by the District shall be contingent upon the applicant submitting to and passing a fitness for duty examination which shall include testing for the use of illegal drugs and alcohol. Applicants who refuse to sign a consent form permitting testing or the release of test results to the District will not be hired or rehired.
