Depending on your district's specific requirements and our current pool in your area, we can typically begin providing coverage within 10-14 days of signing a partnership agreement. For urgent situations, we may be able to accommodate faster timelines.

We specialize in K-12 substitute teachers for all grade levels and subject areas. We also support paraprofessionals, classroom aides, instructional assistants, and other school support roles as needed by our partner districts.

Every educator in our pool undergoes comprehensive background checks (including fingerprinting where required), reference verification, credential validation, and orientation training. We also gather feedback from schools to continuously improve our substitute pool.

Our fee is a Mark-Up % of substitute pay. No upfront costs or hidden fees. If subs don't work, you don't pay. This rate is based on factors like district size, coverage volume, and specific requirements. We provide clear quotes with no hidden fees. We can give you a rate right over the phone.

Admins, secretaries, or even teachers (optional) have access to our online portal. ASP's online and mobile tool for teacher absence and substitute requests is user friendly and very efficient. Post an absence in seconds.

We take feedback seriously. If a substitute doesn't meet your standards, let us know immediately. We'll address the situation, and that individual will not be assigned to your schools again without resolution.

Requirements vary by state and district, but generally you need at least a high school diploma or equivalent. Many positions prefer or require a bachelor's degree.
