Questions about the Colorado licensure process? 

Substitute licensure is obtained from the Colorado Department of Education (CDE). Email the CDE at:  CDELicensing@cde.state.co.us or call 303‐866‐ 6628.

Required Background Check: Upon hire, both licensed and classified subs must complete a background check specific to Poudre School District.  For licensed subs, this is in addition to what CDE requires for licensure.  The cost for the background check $40.00 for classified subs and $28.00 for licensed subs at the substitute's expense.  More information about background requirements will be discussed at the sub orientation.
