risk losing job?

What is the name of your state? CA
I got an DUI Labor day weekend. I work in elementary schools and drive to multiple sites. Last year I signed a release form to allow them to check my records with DMV. Do those records get checked regularly or does DMV notify them of any activity? If they find out I have a DUI, can I be fired?

They probably subscribe to a service provided by the DMV. If so, whenever any activity occurs on your license status they will be notified.

Nobody can say if you will lose your job or not. But, if your license is suspended and your job description REQUIRES you to drive, the chances are good you will be terminated or put on leave.

I'm sure you've figured out by now that you pretty much put your job at risk when you drove after drinking.

The DMV doesn't notify employers of anything, but there are companies that produce background checks for profit that can notify employers via subscription. You can either wait and see what happens, plenty of sleepless nights, or go ahead and disclose it.

FYI ... Actually, in CA certain employers are able to have their employees' driving records flagged for their notification. The pull-notice program in CA is covered under CVC 1808.
