About Iowa City's Public Schools

Iowa City is home to 2 public schools serving more than 30,026 students across grades PK–12.

Like many districts, Iowa City public schools face a persistent challenge in maintaining a deep enough substitute teacher roster to cover daily absences. Staffing agencies have traditionally filled this gap, but at a significant cost. Agency markups of $100 or more per sub per day add up quickly.

SubPool offers Iowa City public schools a different path. Through the Subbey app, administrators can see coverage at a glance, teachers can find subs in a few clicks, and subs can book jobs with one tap. The result is lower costs, better coverage, and a better experience for everyone. Learn more about SubPool for public schools →
