How do I get to PSD Human Resources?
Human Resources is located in the lower level of the Johanssen Support Services Center, 2407 LaPorte Avenue, Fort Collins, CO 80521. The center is about a half mile west of the intersection of LaPorte Avenue and Taft Hill Road in the northwest quadrant of the city. Office hours are from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. during the school year and 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. during the summer months.
What happens to my application once it has been submitted?
Upon receipt of your online application and the two confidential references, you will receive a notification via email with further directions about the application process. At that point please access the job vacancy listing on this web site on a weekly basis. When you see a job that matches your qualifications, you may mail or fax a resume and letter of interest to that site. Building administrators ask that you not request an interview or visit with them due to busy schedules. Human Resources considers all applications and confers with district sites as to whose qualifications best match the job vacancy profile.

Applicants are sent a letter every November that will detail the procedure for remaining an active applicant.
