Item Coversheet

Santa Barbara Unified School District


Item Title:Approval to Subscribe to Frontline Technologies (Aesop) Substitute Calling Service
Agenda Title:Approval to Subscribe to Frontline Technologies (Aesop) Substitute Calling Service
Background:
The District employes two people to arrange for substitute teachers, one in a regular classified position, 3.5 hours per day, and the second on an hourly basis. In addition, site clerical staff also arrange for substitutes. 
 
The current manual process is cumbersome and inefficient, and produces duplication of effort and overlapping calls to the substitute pool. Moving to Aesop will automate the process, saving money and time, and provide site staff and administrators improved control over the substitute process. 
Recommendation:That the Board of Education authorize subscription for Aesop with Frontline Technologies. 
Resource Person:
Margaret Christensen, Ph.D.
Assistant Superintendent, Human Resources 
Fiscal Impact:$5,250 one-time set-up cost, and then a subscription cost of $9,215 per year. Aesop will pay for itself in one fiscal year.
