What Morgan Hunter Education does

Morgan Hunter Education (MHED) is a substitute teacher staffing agency headquartered at 7600 West 110th Street, Overland Park, Kansas, that has placed substitute teachers, paraprofessionals, and special education substitutes with public and private K-12 school districts across Kansas and Missouri since 1986. The firm recruits candidates on one side and matches them to daily, long-term, and specialty assignments on the other, with named customers including Piper School District, Lawrence School District, KC International Academy, Turner School District, Kansas City Kansas Public Schools, and Olathe School District. MHED markets a professional-development requirement for all substitutes as a quality differentiator versus generic temp-staffing models, and runs ongoing community programs such as a Sub of the Month / Sub Spotlight recognition feature.

Operationally, MHED is a sales-led, B2G (business-to-government) staffing firm with 11-50 employees, founder/president Jerry Hellebusch, and a small in-house team of named program directors and staffing specialists (e.g., Angela Hunt, Ashley Peterson, Allison Kirch, Brad Whitsell). Technology footprint is intentionally thin: MHED outsources absence management to the third-party AESOP platform (Frontline Education), has no public APIs, no mobile app, and no disclosed integrations. Revenue is generated through service fees charged to school districts for substitute and paraprofessional placement, with pricing not publicly disclosed; customer acquisition runs through direct district engagement augmented by organic content marketing across the company website, blog, Facebook, LinkedIn, Pinterest, and Instagram.

The company is privately held, has no disclosed funding rounds, no M&A history, no patent or trademark activity, and no partnerships or alliances in the public record. It holds no known regulatory approvals or certifications beyond WCAG 2.1 Level AA accessibility compliance on its public website, and its operating geographies are confined to a Midwest footprint centered on the Kansas City metropolitan area.
