From solo consultants to multi-district operations, here’s what real users say.

“Invoicing, expense tracking, and renewal dates used to live across five spreadsheets and my head. Now it’s one place and I actually keep up.

“The business side terrified me. SCB broke it into steps I could actually follow instead of one giant scary leap.”

“I was already contracting direct but flying blind on the operations side. This is the system I wish I’d had from day one.

Contractors working with these districts trust SCB

The Problem

Going independent was the easy part. Running the business is where most people struggle

You went direct with a district. That was the hard part, or so you thought. Now you’re managing invoices, payroll, contracts, and compliance with a patchwork of spreadsheets and email threads. Something always falls through the cracks.

📈

The finances are a mess

Invoices in one spreadsheet, expenses in another, NEC payments tracked in your head. You have no idea if you’re actually profitable.

📜

Contracts everywhere

District contracts, subcontractor agreements, renewals coming up, scattered across emails, folders, and post-it notes.

🔥

Managing a team manually

Tracking hours, running payroll, handling timesheets, you’re spending hours on admin that should take minutes.

Megan Cornwell, Founder of School Contract Blueprint
The Story
I built SCB because I was tired of watching brilliant therapists undercharge districts and lose nights to admin. This is the exact stack I used.

I’m a school-based SLP with 15 years of experience in education. After years of building someone else’s business, I went direct with my first district and never looked back. In my first year subcontracting I built Radical Language on a system I created myself, taking home $350k. School Contract Blueprint is that system rebuilt as software.
