The challenge
Yes Prep Public Schools were looking for a staffing solution that could address operational pain points:
- Staffing gaps across multiple campuses, not just for PTO but for ongoing vacancies
- A need for qualified, adaptable educators who could maintain learning continuity
- Network-wide visibility into coverage and budget data to make daily decisions—something previous vendors couldn’t provide
Customized approach
We worked closely with Yes Prep to design a solution that matched their needs:
- Early planning: We outlined a calendar of Spring/Summer planning sessions before the 23–24 school year to align on goals.
- Technology upgrades:
- Enhanced Scoot2Book app for campus-level fill rate visibility
- Built Power BI dashboards for fill rates, leave types, and budget tracking
- Consistent communication:
- Biweekly HQ meetings
- Setup with our free booking management app, Scoot2Book
- Designated Scoot Education Consultant for each campus
- Attended district-wide PD day for introductions and app demos
- Feedback loop: Yes Prep’s lead Scoot Consultant reports on educator and campus feedback to keep everyone aligned on what outcomes they want to achieve.
Staffing implementation
In 23–24, Scoot provided day-to-day coverage for lead teachers, Special Education roles, TAs, and operational support. After an exceptional first year, Yes Prep expanded the partnership in 24–25 to include half of their long-term placements.
Results
- Fill rates:
- 24–25 SY (Aug–Jan): 98.92% overall
- Total 4,242 requests filled
- December peaked at 99.80%
- Operational wins:
- Real-time data helped Yes Prep control budgets and reallocate resources
- Reduced invoicing issues through proactive monitoring
- Positive feedback:
- Strong campus relationships and HQ alignment
- Scoot’s outcomes led to many Yes Prep campuses requesting Scoot to be their source of all long-term placements
