It takes a team of exceptional individuals to help DPS fulfill its promise that Every Child Succeeds. DPS is committed to rewarding all members of Team DPS with a competitive Total Rewards package that includes attractive benefits packages and generous paid time-off.

We are proud to offer a competitive and living wage for all employees — in 2015, DPS implemented an organizational minimum wage of $12 per hour, which is 8.1% higher than the Colorado 2019 minimum wage of $11.10 per hour. This increase impacts more than 1,700 employees, including paraprofessionals, cafeteria workers and custodians.

Please note: Hourly and yearly salary ranges vary by position. You can find the relevant pay range for a specific position at the top of each job posting on the DPS Jobs Board.

We recognize that we can only reach our commitment to supporting the Whole Child if we collectively support the members of Team DPS. Our Benefits and Wellness programs support the health, engagement and enrichment of the whole employee.
