Case Study: Caledonia Community Schools achieves streamlined hiring, onboarding, and centralized personnel management with Frontline Education

Caledonia Community Schools - Customer Case Study

Caledonia Community Schools, a high-performing suburban/rural district near Grand Rapids, MI, faced growing pains as enrollment rose and manual, paper-based HR and professional development processes became unsustainable. To streamline recruiting, hiring, onboarding, absence management, timekeeping, and professional growth tracking, Caledonia turned to Frontline Education’s integrated solutions, including Frontline Central, Frontline Recruiting & Hiring, Absence Management/Time & Attendance, and Frontline Professional Growth.

Frontline Education implemented a unified Human Capital Management platform with single sign-on, automated transfer of applicant data into personnel profiles, electronic onboarding checklists routed across departments, integrated time and absence systems that eliminated paper timecards, and centralized professional development tracking. The result: faster, more transparent hiring and onboarding, simplified payroll and leave calculations, remote access during COVID, access to a broader candidate pool via a 23-district consortium, and a sustained substitute fill rate of about 90% most days.
