Georgetown School District Selects eSchool Solutions for Automatic Absentee Management Software

Jan. 13, 2011 - PRLog -- GEORGETOWN, SC. – Georgetown County School District has selected Orlando-based eSchool Solutions to provide the SmartFindExpress® software, with the SFE mobile option, to manage absentee teachers.

In the spring of this year, Georgetown County District, on South Carolina’s East Coast, will install the SmartFindExpress software. The system will streamline how the district manages teacher sick days and absences. SFE Mobile allows up-to-the-minute entries and corrections to absence schedules and provides an extra measure of convenience for both teachers and substitutes. Teachers and subs can manage the system straight from their smart phones.

Previously, the district managed absentee teachers, selecting subs, and assigning jobs manually. SmartFindExpress will free up administrators and principals from directly handling the absentee needs of the district’s 694 teachers and 10,000 students.

eSchool Solutions expects SmartFindExpress will help reduce lost learning days and will meet student achievement requirements to ensure that the right sub is placed in the right classroom.

“We are very excited to be serving all 18 Georgetown County schools. We know administrators will enjoy the ease and convenience of SmartFindExpress,” said Lisa Welton, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing for eSchool Solutions.
“And with the SFE Mobile option, teachers and substitutes are able to control and access their accounts from anywhere.”
