Substitute Training & Recruiting Services (STARS) - For School Districts

We're here to help.

Introducing STARS, a novel service designed to address the prevailing shortages in substitute teachers and other various school-related positions within our WNY districts. In the creation of this service, we collaborated closely with an advisory committee consisting of school district administrators, human resources, and school business professionals. This committee was united by a shared mission and commitment to both short and long-term goals.

If you would like to set up a meeting to discuss your district's needs, please reach out to Michael Lichtenberger at 716-821-7264.

STARS 360 - Substitute Training & Recruiting Services

Introducing STARS 360

This service provides an all-encompassing, 360 effort to help your district try and curb the nationwide sub shortage.

This service would include everything in our STARS - Substitute Training and Recruiting Services 660.800.00 program. School districts are able to utilize this centralized service to obtain substitute teachers and other staff to fill short- and long-term openings. Recruiting, fingerprinting (additional charge, see service 660.700), reference checking and substitute training/orientation are included. School districts would give us the authority to completely vet, interview, and hire the appropriate substitute applicants. We would send a list of hired substitute applicants with their demographic data and HR paperwork to the school district each month so it can go before the board for approval.

If you participate in either of our Frontline Absence Management 660.500.00 or Red Rover 660.600.00 services, we would also then automatically enter the hired substitutes in those systems for your district.

If you would like to set up a meeting to discuss your district's needs, please reach out to Michael Lichtenberger at 716-821-7264.
