EducationStaffing & Scheduling4HighParaprofessional$ implied
Media center paraprofessional is frequently pulled to cover classes instead of performing her designated role, undermining her authority and causing emotional distress.
Schools lack a system to manage substitute coverage efficiently, leading to paraprofessionals being used as ad-hoc substitutes instead of fulfilling their specialized roles.

SubSwap Scheduler
SubSwap Scheduler is a web-based platform that automates substitute teacher assignment, prioritizing that specialized staff (paraprofessionals, librarians, etc.) are only pulled for coverage as a last resort. It integrates with school calendars, tracks staff roles and qualifications, and sends automated alerts to available substitutes, reducing the burden on non-teaching staff.
Key Features
- Role-based coverage prioritization to protect specialized staff from being pulled
- Automated substitute matching based on qualifications and availability
- Real-time notifications to substitutes and administrators
- Reporting dashboard to track coverage usage and identify trends
Target Users: School administrators and office managers in K-12 schools, especially those managing substitute assignments for multiple grades and specialties
Revenue Model: $200-500/school per month tiered by school size
