Today's School administrator's must be able to respond quickly to maintain adequate teacher staffing all year and every day.


Minor human intervention is needed to initiate this powerful tool. Adminstrators can focus on important tasks and Sub Locator contacts the substitute teacher's services and fills the vacancies.

Easy For Substitutes

• Each teacher on the sub list enters an ID/PIN. It also allows the person to press a touch-tone putting the call "on hold" up to 90 seconds. This allows the proper person to come to the phone.
• The purpose of the call (i.e., "A substitute teacher is needed...") is played.
• The called teacher then hears the school and the position to be filled.
• If the substitute accepts, they are given additional information recorded by the teacher or adminstrator about the day’s lesson plan and any other information the teacher feels is necessary for the sub that accepts the job.
• Once a substitute accepts the position an email is forwarded to administration confirming acceptance of each substitute teacher.
• If the sub rejects the offer, the next sub on the list is called.
• If the system receives a “no answer” scenario the number is placed back in the call list to be called again. The system will make three attempts before removing the number from the outcall campaign.
• If the system reaches an answering machine the message will be played three times allowing for the answering machine to record the reason for calling. A callback number may be added to the message so the sub has an opportunity to return the call and accept the job.

Easy For Administrators

A Substitute Locator creates reports of subs used, subs needed, and so on.
After a substitute answers their phone the following occurs:

• All details of every substitute request are tracked and reported.
• Substitute Locator may also be used to request non-teaching jobs. This could include office secretaries, lunch room helpers, school bus drivers, and so on.

Easy For the School District

• The employee(s) calling for substitutes can be made free to do more productive tasks.
• Teachers will be able to make a substitute request anytime day or night.
• Administrators will have access to substitute activity.
• Substitutes will be called in best/most wanted order.
• Teachers will get the best substitute available for their request.
