Case Study: Auburn-Washburn Unified School District achieves seamless substitute coverage and operational efficiency with Frontline Education

Auburn-Washburn Unified School District - Customer Case Study

Auburn-Washburn Unified School District, a Topeka, KS district serving about 6,400 students, needed to support a new five‑year strategic plan by strengthening HR operations—attracting and retaining teachers, maintaining a reliable pool of 250–300 substitutes, and streamlining onboarding, payroll and professional development tracking. To tackle substitute management and reduce paperwork, the district selected Frontline Education and implemented Frontline Absence & Time alongside Frontline Professional Growth and FrontlineEducation.com.

Frontline Education managed a carefully planned, mid‑year rollout of Frontline Absence & Time that went live seamlessly, preserving instruction and operations. The district gained clearer absence and substitute trends, improved substitute matching and advance scheduling, eliminated paper leave forms, sustained high fill rates with no disruptions, and reduced payroll processing time—benefits credited to Frontline Education’s project management, training and support.
