What Staff Allocator Does

Runs Thousands of Staffing Scenarios Automatically
With just a few clicks, Staff Allocator tests thousands of possible classroom groupings—based on user-defined rules for class size, blended-grade combinations, and special constraints.
Shows the Most Efficient Organization
Quickly view how many teachers are needed, how classes should be structured, and where combined classes (such as the addition of a grade 4/5 blended classroom) are most efficient.
Highlights Opportunities for Savings
Discover where modifying a rule slightly such as allowing a slightly larger class size or shifting a single
out-of-boundary student could eliminate an entire staff FTE.
Visualizes Impacts of Policy and Enrolment Shifts
Adjust rules or enrolment numbers on the fly to see if class structures change—ideal for comparing budgeting scenarios or responding to enrolment fluctuation.
Customizable to Each School and District
The tool is easily customized to your district’s specific class size caps, combination constraints, and staffing policies.
