Morgantown Learning Academy is the first school in West Virginia to work with Kelly Educational Staffing, marking the 41st state in addition to the District of Columbia where Kelly has won a contract to provide substitute teachers.

Kelly Educational Staffing currently serves more than 1,700 schools in the United States and the United Kingdom.

"Educators face a daily and often daunting task of recruiting and scheduling enough quality substitute teachers," said Teresa Setting, vice president for Kelly Educational Staffing. "We alleviate this burden for schools by providing a comprehensive solution for placing qualified substitute teachers in the classroom when the regular teacher is absent for professional or personal reasons."

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, workers' 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.
