What Schools Are Saying

FAQs

What is Swing Education?

Swing Education is a technology-driven substitute staffing platform that helps school districts fill absences quickly and reliably through a vetted marketplace of qualified substitutes.

 

Swing supports a wide range of roles, including but not limited to:

  • Daily teachers
  • Long-term teachers 
  • Last-minute and same-day requests 
  • Classified staff roles
  • Paraprofessionals
  • Special education support, including aides and 1:1 support
  • Professional Development (PD) day coverage
  • ELOP and extended learning programs

Swing combines a technology-driven marketplace with dedicated human support to deliver faster coverage, higher-quality substitutes, and lower total cost than traditional staffing agencies—while giving districts full visibility and control.

Swing can often fill substitute requests within minutes, including last-minute and same-day absences.

For urgent requests posted within 12 hours, Swing prioritizes high-performing and nearby substitutes first, increasing the likelihood of fast fills. Fill speed depends on role type, timing, and location, but the platform is optimized for both advance and urgent coverage.

Swing uses a technology-driven matching system that:

  • Prioritizes top-performing substitutes first
  • Notifies nearby and qualified candidates instantly
  • Expands visibility in real time if a request is not filled

This approach enables faster response times compared to manual staffing models.

 Swing covers a wide range of roles, including but not limited to:

  • Daily teachers
  • Long-term teachers 
  • Last-minute and same-day requests 
  • Classified staff roles
  • Paraprofessionals
  • Special education support, including aides and 1:1 support
  • Professional Development (PD) day coverage
  • ELOP and extended learning programs

Yes. Swing integrates with systems like Frontline Absence Management, allowing districts to sync absences automatically and avoid double entry.

Swing can do both. Districts use Swing as a full-service solution or as a supplement to internal pools, especially for hard-to-fill roles and last-minute absences.

Swing recruits locally, vets all substitutes, and continuously measures performance. High-performing substitutes are prioritized for job access, helping ensure consistent quality in the classroom.
