Portland Public Schools Switches to Aesop
EXTON, Pa. - July 1, 2011 - Frontline Technologies is pleased to announce that Portland Public Schools, the largest school district in Oregon, has switched to Aesop for automated substitute placement and absence management.
Portland Public Schools previously used the SEMS™ and SmartFindExpress® sub-calling systems from eSchool Solutions®. The upgrade from SEMS to SmartFindExpress resulted in technical issues for Portland, leading the district to search for a more efficient solution.
The Executive Director of Human Resources at Portland Public Schools came from a district using Aesop, and received training at Frontline corporate headquarters. The Substitute Coordinator at Portland also attended several Aesop User meetings and classes in the area.
Portland will benefit from automated substitute placement and absence management through a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform, with no hardware, software, or phone lines to install or maintain at the district.
A number of other districts in Oregon have switched from SEMS or SmartFindExpress, including North Clackamas School District, Willamette ESD, Lebanon Community School District, Corvallis School District, and greater Albany Public School District.
