Connect schools – stronger across sites
On their own, individual schools tackle every shortage in isolation. SchuleVernetzt connects them across sites: connecting schools means a shared cover pool, joint courses and a resource exchange no standalone tool can match – while the school authority sees everything in one live dashboard.

Why schools are stronger as a network
Shared cover pool
When a teacher is out, a qualified colleague from a neighbouring school steps in – the cover pool reaches beyond your own walls, across schools.
Offer courses together
Too few sign-ups for that advanced course? Several schools merge small courses into one shared offering – pooled digitally instead of cancelled one by one.
Share material and know-how
Worksheets, exams and project ideas travel school to school through a protected exchange – created once, used many times across the network.
Live dashboard for the authority
The school authority sees absence rates, capacity and demand across every school at a glance – steering instead of collecting spreadsheets.
How a school network comes about
Four steps turn individual schools into a network: found it, take in neighbouring schools with the joining code, set the releases, and then share cover, courses and material.
-
1
Found the network
One school creates the network and gives it a name. It receives a joining code that it passes on to neighbouring schools – by phone, by letter or in the meeting of head teachers.
-
2
Let schools join
With the code a school requests to join. The membership only becomes active once the founding school confirms – until then no data flows between the two buildings.
-
3
Set releases individually
Each school decides separately whether it shares the cover pool, joint courses or the material library. The default is private; every release can be revoked at any time without leaving the network.
-
4
Work together
From now on the pool suggests suitable teachers from neighbouring schools for open cover lessons, shared courses appear in the course pool and material in the network library. The authority sees the figures in the live dashboard.
Networked cluster vs. schools going it alone
What the network actually delivers
Cover pool with subject matching
At most schools an open cover lesson ends at the school gate: if nobody internal is free, all that remains is merging classes or cancelling. In a network the system also looks outside. For every unstaffed lesson it suggests teachers from releasing neighbouring schools who are free at the same time and teach the matching subject – subject matching instead of a round-robin e-mail. A suggestion is only a request: the other school sees it in its list of incoming requests and decides for itself. Only after its approval do the contact details become visible; if it declines, no data is shared. That keeps staffing authority with each school while the pool still reaches beyond its own fence.
Joint courses across school boundaries
An advanced course with four sign-ups does not happen at a single school. Two or three schools together fill it easily – until now that failed on organisation, not on demand. A cross-school course is therefore created once, with subject, teacher and a timetable slot, and then opened to the network. Enrolled are a school's own students and, where the release is active, those of the member schools as well. What matters is what happens next: the course keeps one shared attendance register across all participating schools, with a status per session and the home school visible. So there is one course, one slot and one register instead of three lists that somebody has to reconcile afterwards.
Material library and authority dashboard
What one school works out usually ends up on its own drive. The network library collects teaching material, report card building blocks and parent letter templates in one place, tagged by subject and year group and searchable. Contributions can be marked as helpful, so that useful things move up instead of sinking into a folder. Every upload is private at first and only becomes visible once it is expressly opened to the network and the school has additionally activated the library release. For the school authority a live dashboard brings together absence rates, active classes, student numbers and open cover lessons of the releasing schools – steering on one set of data instead of asking by e-mail.
A network in a few steps
Invite schools, assign roles and subjects, release shared pools and courses – done. Each school keeps its own interface but shares exactly what the network agrees on, with no new hardware and no system change.
