At the heart of Aequor’s Education Staffing Division is a mission that’s both simple and powerful: support school districts in delivering consistent, high-quality education to every student, especially when staffing shortages threaten that goal. Leading the charge is John Boltas, Aequor’s Vice President of Education, who brings nearly two decades of experience in education staffing to Aequor’s nationwide efforts.
Aequor works hand in hand with public and charter schools across the country, from urban to rural districts, to identify and fill staffing gaps. Whether due to teacher shortages, increased enrollment, or unexpected vacancies, Aequor steps in to provide highly qualified professionals who meet each district’s specific needs.
But Aequor doesn’t aim to take over a district’s hiring, it provides essential support. “We walk parallel with school districts,” John explains. “We help them reach their staffing goals by providing vetted professionals who can step in and make an immediate impact.”
With full transparency in the hiring process, school administrators interview candidates to ensure each educator is the right cultural and instructional fit for their district. This collaborative approach ensures schools retain control while gaining a valuable staffing partner.
Educators working with Aequor are not just seeking jobs, they’re seeking opportunities for professional growth, variety, and impact. Many of Aequor’s contractors, such as speech-language pathologists, occupational therapists, and special education professionals, travel to take on new assignments, bringing fresh ideas and best practices to every classroom they enter.
“They choose agencies like Aequor because they want variety, flexibility, and the chance to make a difference in new places,” says Boltas. “And in turn, they bring insights from their experiences that benefit each new district.”
These travel educators bring more than just classroom support, they bring fresh perspectives and innovation. With experience in diverse school environments, they introduce new ideas, share best practices, and help foster growth and improvement within each district they serve.
One of Aequor’s greatest strengths is its dedicated, experienced team. From recruiters to clinical managers, the internal staff provides ongoing support to educators and school leaders alike. Aequor’s low turnover rate means educators are guided by experienced professionals who understand the intricacies of education staffing and who are committed to long term success.
Clinical managers play a particularly critical role, acting as liaisons between contractors and district leadership, helping to resolve issues, provide mentorship, and ensure continuity of care, especially in special education settings. This level of involvement is a key reason school districts trust Aequor as a staffing partner.
“A recruiter doesn’t just place a candidate and walk away,” Boltas emphasizes. “They’re there through the entire assignment and even beyond, helping educators navigate challenges, explore future opportunities, and thrive in their roles.”
Aequor believes trust must be earned, and that starts with small steps. One notable example comes from a district in Maryland that faced a critical shortage of paraprofessionals during the COVID-19 pandemic. Initially, Aequor placed just a handful of educators to support special education classrooms. Within five months, that partnership grew to 50 contractors.
“We received a testimonial from the special ed director that said we saved their school,” Boltas recalls. “That meant everything to us.”
Stories like this are why Aequor does this work. For John, the mission is personal, his sister has been a speech-language pathologist in public schools for over 25 years. He understands the challenges that families of students with special needs face beyond the classroom, and he’s committed to easing those burdens by ensuring the right professionals are in place to support students, educators, and families alike.
As a new school year approaches, Aequor’s award winning Education Staffing Division is ramping up its support for districts nationwide. From placing speech therapists and paraprofessionals to offering ongoing recruiter and clinical support, Aequor is committed to being the trusted partner that schools can count on.
