Durham, NC (1888PressRelease) January 20, 2011 - Durham, Canada School District in Ontario has selected Orlando-based eSchool Solutions to provide SmartFindExpress to manage absentee teachers.

SmartFindExpress ensures the most highly qualified substitutes are placed in classrooms, by allowing districts to set parameters to control how occasional teachers are selected for jobs - using criteria such as skill sets, location, and contract guidelines.

Previously, administrators and principals manually managed the absentee needs of the district's 6,000 employees. SmartFindExpress will save the district time, money, and help fight lost-learning days for students.

"With more than 55,000 students, SmartFindExpress will free up valuable time, resources, and funds for Durham," said Lisa Welton, senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing for eSchool Solutions.

Durham Schools will install SmartFindExpress in the spring of this year. This new software system automates substitute management, increases fill rates with qualified subs, expands the substitute pool and reduces lost learning days.
