Hear it from Texas K-12 Leaders

“You’re not going to find a software solution that’s as comprehensive and consistent in the areas of HR, Finance and Payroll.”

Rick Rodriguez, Assistant Superintendent of Human Resources, Lubbock ISD 

“We just started thinking there has to be something out there that’s all in one, and we don’t have to put all these pieces together. The different pieces were the attendance, the substitute application and even our student system tying into our business systems, our HR systems. We wanted something that brought all of that together and Frontline is what did that for us.”

Robert Whitman, Assistant Superintendent, Willis ISD 

“We wanted to make sure that we had a system that was also used in the state of Texas. To us, looking for an ERP system that had the experience of working with multiple school districts throughout the state was important. We also looked at the ease of its use. Was it user friendly and also did it achieve the efficiencies that we needed as a district.”

Katrina Montgomery, Assistant Superintendent of Finance, Austin ISD
