Swing has been very, very accommodating, very thoughtful in their approach, very understanding of our needs. They were very patient in helping us through the process, alleviating our concerns. They’ve been very responsive to what we needed and how we wanted to make it work.
I think that we’re blessed. We’ve been really lucky to find some substitute teachers from Swing that we think of as part of the Paul family. Our teachers rely on the fact that if they have to be out for any reason, their classroom will still function appropriately because the folks we’ve had from Swing…
We have been able to craft a group that works best for our school by using the favorites list. So when we have educators from Swing and they’ve worked really well with our students, we can put them on our list and keep them coming back very regularly.
There are definitely time savings. In peak times when there are a lot of teachers sick or out for different reasons, we’re saving a few hours a week managing substitute teachers with Swing as opposed to when we used to have to do it.
Swing has extensive charter experience. They had the right context and understood some of the challenges that we had faced in partnering with other sub companies and had a clear vision of how they worked to address those challenges. From the get go Swing was really responsive, communicative, and flexible.
Within a day of signing the contract we already had a substitute position filled. The system is so user-friendly and easy to use that our teachers were able to utilize it without any formal training, although Swing has provided our staff with two separate trainings just in case we had any questions.
What I appreciate about Swing Education is that there’s a high level of responsiveness. I feel like they take compliance really seriously, which has in the past been a pain point for us.
What do I love about Swing? It’s an easy system. It’s all online.
