"We are very pleased with the success of the pilot program between Kelly Educational Staffing and the Provo School District and delighted to extend the contract to include the remainder of our schools," said Randy Merrill, superintendent for the Provo School District. "Kelly's expertise in recruiting and scheduling quality substitute teachers has been invaluable in providing qualified substitute teachers in the classroom."
Kelly Educational Staffing currently serves more than 1,700 schools in the United States and the United Kingdom. Kelly launched its educational staffing program in 1999.
Standard features of Kelly Educational Staffing include recruiting, screening, orientation/training, scheduling, quality control and retention of substitute teachers. Kelly assumes all employer obligations related to a school's substitute teacher program, including payroll taxes, worker's compensation and unemployment compensation. Substitute teachers from Kelly meet state and local certification requirements for any K-12 teaching situation in a public or private school.
To attract and retain quality substitute teachers, Kelly goes beyond paying the prevailing wage in the school or district by providing weekly pay, direct payroll deposit, free software training, vacation/holiday bonus pay, and access to health benefits and a 401(k) program. An orientation/training session and comprehensive grade-appropriate handbooks developed for Kelly by The Substitute Teaching Institute at Utah State University help prepare Kelly teachers for the classroom. Continual surveys of permanent teachers and administrators at schools with Kelly Educational Staffing indicate a 99 percent rate of satisfaction with the performance of Kelly substitute teachers.
