The platform
Every feature built around one question:
is your team sustainable?
Three pillars. Every feature lives inside one of them. Every feature makes the others stronger.
01 · Schedule
Build once. Adjust without starting over.
PULSE builds the week from your caseload, and you adjust it without starting over.
A full week, built from your caseload.
PULSE reads your imported IEP service records: service type, frequency and duration. It analyzes blocked times, specials rotations, bell schedules, and IEP service models, then generates a complete schedule that avoids conflicts and groups students intelligently.
The schedule isn't a suggestion. It is a working draft that has already been checked against those constraints. You edit from there. You don't build from scratch.
- Constraint-aware: respects specials, lunch, duties, travel time
- IEP-model aware: push-in vs. pull-out handling
- Grouping intelligence: matches students by service type and duration
- Rebuild without losing the sessions you have edited or locked
Full control over every grouping decision.
PULSE generates groups as a starting point. You own every grouping from there. Move a student to another session, add a student to a group, or take one out.
No rebuilding, no re-running generation, no spreadsheet.
- Move: a student to another session
- Add to group: bring a student into an existing session
- Remove: take a student out of a session
02 · Workload
The number that changes everything.
Not a caseload count. Not a national average. Your workload, built from the working hours in your contract and recalculated from your current records.
Upload your contract. We read it.
Administrators can upload the bargaining agreement as a PDF. PULSE reads contracted hours, lunch, prep and collaboration time for an administrator to review before saving. The district turns document reading on.
The workload figure is defensible because it comes from the document that governs your work.
- Three bands: Room for more (below 85%), Near full (85 to under 100%), At or past the week (100% and over)
- Mandated direct and consultation minutes counted; meetings and evaluations shown beside them
See the consequence before you commit.
Add a student to a provider's caseload. Before you hit save, PULSE shows you what happens to their workload score. From 87% to 103%: from near full to past the week.
This is the feature that changes how coordinators and directors assign students. It makes the invisible visible before it becomes a problem: a grievance, a resignation, a compliance issue.
03 · Workforce Intelligence
The layer that connects everything.
Where your schedule and workload data turn into decisions. Starting with the budget case for the staff you need, built from your real numbers.
The case for hiring. Made automatically.
PULSE has all the data a superintendent needs: who's over capacity, what it's costing in contracted services, what a new hire would cost, and what the ROI is. The Board Report turns that data into a document you can walk into a cabinet meeting with.
Not a spreadsheet. A narrative. Complete with workload evidence, cost modeling and a recommendation. The argument that finally wins.
- Workload and budget data → a staffing case, in one report
- Cost of a vacancy in contracted services
- PDF export, ready for the superintendent's desk
