Why should I choose KES for my school’s staffing needs?
Our goal is simple: to help you put all your time, resources, and money into what matters most—your students. We take care of the time-intensive processes involved in screening, recruiting, training, and placing qualified substitute teachers and support personnel.

Here’s some of what we can do for you:

  • With our recruiting expertise and large database of prescreened and qualified candidates, you’re assured a timely response to all your substitute teacher and staffing needs.
  • We reduce your payroll processing time and expense because we pay our teachers directly.
  • We provide the peace of mind you’d expect of your own prescreening processes! Our orientation and background screening processes pinpoint only the most qualified candidates.

What grade levels does KES provide?
We provide substitutes for grades K – 12. Our teachers meet state and local requirements for any teaching situation, including elementary, middle, and high schools, special education, physical education, and fine arts classes (e.g., music and art) in a public or private school or district.

Where is KES available?
Nationwide! Contact your local Kelly branch to find out more.

How much are KES teachers paid?
Your school or school district determines the pay rates.

What kind of training do KES substitutes receive?
All of our substitutes must complete orientation and training sessions before entering the classroom, including training specific to your school.

In addition, Kelly, in partnership with Utah State University’s Substitute Teacher Institute, has developed substitute teacher orientation materials, which include free video training and comprehensive handbooks.

What kind of certification do KES substitute teachers have?
Our substitutes meet the state and local certification requirements for any teaching situation. We conduct thorough certification and background verifications to ensure you get the right teachers for your school.
