School Professionals

What School Professionals does

School Professionals is a US education staffing agency and a division of The TemPositions Group of Companies, founded in 2002 and headquartered in New York City. The company connects schools with substitute teachers, teacher aides, paraprofessionals, school nurses, therapists, and other school support staff, and additionally operates permanent teacher recruitment, in-school tutoring, and standardized test proctoring services. It reports serving more than 1,000 schools across New York, California, Florida, Connecticut, and New Jersey, with more than 500 substitute teachers working daily and over 1,000 educators placed into permanent roles to date.

The underlying technology is a cloud-based staffing platform delivered through three proprietary access points: a Client Web Access (CWA) portal for schools to register, request substitutes, and manage accounts; an Employee Web Access (EWA) portal where educators manage profiles, view jobs, and track pay and benefits; and a mobile app (iOS and Android) for on-the-go assignment management. The flagship operational feature is a Rapid Order System that allows schools to self-serve substitute requests and receive coverage confirmations, reportedly often within 15 minutes, supported by 24/7/365 live representative availability. The company also maintains free teacher resources (worksheets, training videos, educational games, blog) as a top-of-funnel acquisition channel for educators.

Revenue is generated through managed-services fees on substitute and support-staff placements, professional-services fees on permanent teacher recruitment, tutoring, and test proctoring engagements, with pricing varying materially by geography (e.g., substitute day-rates of $112 in Florida and $85-$200 in NYC; direct-hire teacher salaries of $60,000-$70,000+ annually). The go-to-market is sales-led and direct-to-consumer across a horizontal segmentation of charter schools, private schools, special education programs, Pre-K programs (notably NYC's Pre-K for All), parochial schools, and administrative-staff buyers, supported by 17+ regional offices. The company is privately held, with no disclosed revenue, and operates as part of the larger TemPositions staffing conglomerate.
