Case Study: Lufkin Independent School District improves SHARS reimbursement confidence with Frontline Education

Lufkin Independent School District cuts SHARS payroll reporting from weeks to 20–30 minutes with Frontline

Lufkin Independent School District faced a manual and time-intensive process for compiling its SHARS cost report, requiring weeks of effort to gather payroll, contracts, and transportation data. The district's CFO had low confidence in capturing all eligible services, and finance and special education departments worked in silos, leading to potential errors and an inability to budget for the unpredictable reimbursement revenue.

By implementing Frontline Education's Service Tracking & Medicaid Billing product, Lufkin ISD streamlined its workflow. Frontline automated data compilation, reducing the time to pull payroll data from weeks to just 20-30 minutes. The solution centralized documentation, fostered monthly collaboration between departments, and provided a clear task management system. This has given the district greater compliance confidence and a foundation to pursue more consistent and predictable SHARS reimbursement revenue.
