Case Study: eSchool Solutions achieves scalable, low-cost teacher absence management with MySQL

eSchool Solutions Embeds MySQL to Deliver the Most Comprehensive Teacher Absence Management Solution

eSchool Solutions is a leading provider of preK–12 educational management software whose SmartFindExpress absence-management application helps more than 700 school districts, including the New York City Department of Education, fill thousands of daily teacher vacancies. With 5–10% of teachers absent at any time, districts relying on manual processes struggled to find timely, well-matched substitutes.

By embedding MySQL, eSchool delivers SmartFindExpress as either an onsite turnkey system or a hosted SaaS offering with 24/7 reliability, low administration, cross-platform support and lower costs. The IVR-enabled system uses 100+ parameters to automatically match the most qualified substitutes, improving instructional quality, operational efficiency and reducing district expenses.
