The D.I.Y. Problem

Staffing Challenges Need Comprehensive Solutions, Not Temporary Patches.

Districts nationwide face increasing staffing challenges. Faculty shortages are forcing 42% of schools to use non-teaching staff outside their intended duties, while 28% have increased class sizes—all while 7.5 million students need specialized support. These quick fixes compromise the quality education your students deserve.
Limited budgets make these temporary measures understandable, but you’re essentially patching holes that place additional strain on District leaders and ultimately compromise student success. But there’s a better way.
The D.I.T. Solution

You Don't Have to Staff Alone.
Let’s Do It Together.

ESS’s Do It Together (D.I.T.) initiative fills in staffing shortages and empowers students by uniting three specialized talent providers—ESS, ESS Clinical, and Proximity Learning—to provide comprehensive hiring support that’s tailored to your needs. For superintendents and District leaders seeking reliable solutions, we deliver substitute and permanent personnel, dedicated clinical professionals, and livestreamed certified teachers that empower your teams to succeed.
Through this collaborative approach, your District gains the personnel necessary to optimize class sizes, enhance individualized instruction, and ensure students receive timely evaluations and appropriate educational support. Our comprehensive strategy empowers positive outcomes that benefit individual students while strengthening and empowering entire classrooms, districts, and communities to thrive.
