Daily Substitute Coverage · Twin Cities Metro
Your art teacher calls in sick at 6:00 AM. What happens next shouldn't be a coin flip. The “warm body” agencies send a generalist who's never managed an active studio. MNEDU sends a trained subject specialist — an actual artist, STEM educator, or Spanish speaker — who arrives ready to teach.
Ready-to-go, standards-aligned lessons in Art, STEM, or Spanish. If your teacher left plans, we follow them. If they didn't, the day still counts as instruction — never a movie day.
Specialist rooms are the hardest in the building to cover. Our substitutes are trained in proximity control and de-escalation — they circulate, engage, and keep students safe bell to bell.
Sinks clear, supplies capped, materials inventoried. Your returning teacher walks into a room that's cleaner than the substitute found it — guaranteed.
You don't need to add us to Frontline, Teachers On Call, or any absence-management platform. Districts engage MNEDU as a Contracted Service Vendor under Object Code 300 — a standard purchased-services line your business office already uses.
Have your school business official ask us about Object Code 300 contracting — we'll send the one-page vendor packet. More detail in our FAQ.
Daily substitute coverage runs across the Twin Cities metro — Minneapolis, Saint Paul, and surrounding suburban districts. Outside the metro? Contact us anyway: long-term placements are available statewide, and our daily coverage map grows district by district.
MNEDU isn't a staffing agency — it's a teacher-owned collective. Every person who answers your 6:00 AM call has stood in front of a classroom. We know what a lost day costs your students, and we built this service to end the era of the "warm body" sub.
Tell us your school or district, the subject, and the dates you need covered. For same-day emergencies, call — a teacher answers, not a portal.
