I just finished student teaching in Ohio and got offered a job teaching high school in Maryland. Unfortunately, before student teaching (and consequently before I was going to quit) a friend of mine and I got busted for paraphernalia and possession of marijuana charges in Ohio.

I got a lawyer and the paraphernalia charge was dropped completely and the possession charge was dropped down to a minor-misdemeanor disorderly conduct charge that has nothing to do with anything drug related.

My question is when I get a FBI background check for Maryland, will the original charges show up or just the minor misdemeanor disorderly conduct charge that I plead no contest to? I checked my records online and nothing came up because I do not have any felonies.

I was also completely honest about my record on the application by listing my court outcome, but, while I dont think it will bar me from employment necessarally, I hope the initial charges do not show up. Thanks for any help.
