New-Employment Drug Test: New Mexico School for the Deaf requires successful applicants to complete a new-employment drug test and maintains a substance abuse policy that includes random drug testing.

A positive drug test for marijuana, or any drug, will result in termination of employment, even if the use was pre-offer.
