For school districts

K-12 Healthcare Staffing

Credentialed school health specialists — placed reliably, semester after semester — so every student gets the speech, psychological, and nursing support they're entitled to.

The challenge

Critical student-support roles
are getting harder to fill.

Districts face persistent shortages of SLPs, psychologists, nurses, and paraprofessionals — while school-based specialists report far more openings than available candidates.

Specialist shortages
SLP and school psychologist openings can sit unfilled for months — leaving caseloads uncovered, evaluations delayed, and students waiting for services.
IEP & compliance risk
Unfilled roles can mean missed service minutes, delayed evaluations, and IEP implementation risk — IDEA requires services be made available per each student's IEP.
Mid-year vacancies
When a provider leaves mid-semester, backup options are limited. Teams absorb the work, services are disrupted, and administrators scramble into reactive coverage.
Classroom support gaps
Paraprofessionals, aides, and nurses are essential to daily student safety, behavior, and instruction — and they remain in short supply.
