Tuesday Tips Budget Smart Strategies With Flexible Staffing

On this episode of Tuesday Tips, we were joined by Beth Jacobs of vChief to discuss budget-smart strategies with flexible staffing for schools.

Here are the conversation’s top 3 tips, or watch the full conversation below.
  1. Fractional leaders provide immediate impact. Unlike traditional hires, they don’t require extensive onboarding and can quickly add value, making them a cost-effective solution for schools with tight budgets.
  2. Match staffing to specific needs. Schools can scale support up or down, bringing in fractional leaders for just the hours needed—whether it’s 40 hours a month or near full-time for six months.
  3. Flexible staffing is a strategic way to test long-term needs. Flexible staffing allows schools to assess what roles they truly need before committing to full-time hires, helping them stay within budget while solving immediate challenges.
