"I was tracking 340 teacher certifications in a spreadsheet that I'd inherited in 2019. Every August felt like defusing a bomb — which license expired, which background check was still pending. The first year I used Roster, I slept through August."

Zero lapsed licenses

"The certification tracker alone is worth every penny. I used to have a recurring nightmare about a teacher's license lapsing mid-year. That nightmare is gone."
