Sub coverage that doesn't make Christina chase three people

Teacher raises a sub request. It fans out to front desk, owners, and qualified teachers. First-to-claim locks. The original teacher sees it happen.

Status note: Workflow in the V1 starter pack.

The story

A teacher can't make a class. The current playbook: the teacher emails Christina. Christina emails Mike. Mike texts three other teachers. One of them says yes; the other two find out by accident two days later. Parents find out by accident too.

Pirouette: the teacher raises a sub request from their mobile app. The request lands in the sub-request inbox seen by Christina, Mike, Michelle, and qualified teachers. The first one to tap 'I'll cover it' locks the assignment. The lesson-plan handoff thread auto-opens between the original teacher and the sub. Parents get a notification only after the sub is confirmed.

What this looks like in practice

  • Multi-stakeholder inbox: front desk, owners, qualified teachers see the request
  • First-claim locks the assignment — no two people coordinating the same gap
  • Lesson-plan handoff thread auto-opens between original teacher and sub
  • Parents notified after confirmation, not at the moment of the original request
  • Live status on the original teacher's app: 'Maria claimed at 9:42 AM'
