Case Study: Streator Elementary School District #44 achieves time and cost savings with Skyward School Business Suite

Streator Elementary School District #44 saves 4 hours per pay period with Skyward

Streator Elementary School District #44 was facing challenges with a paper-based payroll system, poor communication among employees, and a lack of an approval process for purchases, which led to uncontrolled spending. The district turned to Skyward and its School Business Suite, specifically its Employee Access and Payroll solutions, to address these operational inefficiencies.

By implementing Skyward's solutions, the district automated its payroll and purchase approval processes, saving roughly four hours per pay period and gaining control over its budget. The Employee Access portal empowered staff to manage their own information and time-off requests. As a result, Streator 44 improved its financial ranking and eliminated the need to hire an additional part-time employee, saving money and increasing efficiency. Skyward provided the tools for a major operational transformation.
