The Wawasee Community School Corporation School Board aims to improve the corporation’s website and help find substitute teachers. WCSC Superintendent Steve Troyer had asked the Board in January for permission to explore a staffing company for substitute teachers – EduStaff – and an updated absence management system – Red Rover, the Warsaw Times-Union reports. “After meetings and discussions with the different companies, we’re recommending EduStaff for our substitute staffing needs. They provide quality education staffing and human resource services for schools through recruiting, face-to-face workshops, extensive customer service, etc.,” Troyer told the board. WCSC would set the parameters and qualifications for substitute teachers while EduStaff recruits, trains, hires and handles all the paperwork, including payroll, taxes and even offers insurance and retirement incentives for substitutes, he told the board. “The subs become EduStaff employees. “We’ll have our own local recruiter, based out of Mentone. Warsaw and Whitko are two local school corporations that use EduStaff. We’re confident that the switch will help broaden our substitute base,” Troyer says.
