• Chief Operating Officer at a 22-school charter network

  HR/Payroll System Modernization — Eliminated $180K in payroll errors annually

  The Challenge: A fast-growing charter network was running HR on a legacy system that couldn't handle multi-school, multi-fund payroll. Teachers were regularly underpaid, benefits elections were lost, and the HR team was spending 60% of their time correcting errors.

  The Solution: We migrated the network to a cloud-based HRIS platform, built automated payroll rules for each school's fund sources, and trained the HR team on the new system. Error rate dropped to near zero within 60 days.

  Timeline: System Audit & Selection → Data Migration → Parallel Testing → Go-Live & Training

• Director of Operations at an 8,000-student district with a chronic substitute shortage

  Smart Substitute Coverage System — Reduced unfilled positions by 47%

  The Challenge: A suburban district was leaving classrooms with no coverage every morning because the sub-caller system was manual. On some days, 12-15% of absences went uncovered.

  The Solution: Implemented an AI-powered absence management and substitute coverage platform, integrated with the district's SIS, that automatically contacts and confirms qualified substitutes the evening before absences, with a mobile app for real-time updates.

  Timeline: Absence Pattern Analysis → Platform Configuration → Sub Pool Integration → Live Coverage Monitoring

• Superintendent navigating a state-mandated SIS platform migration

  SIS Migration & Data Unification — Zero data loss across 47,000 student records

  The Challenge: A large urban district was mandated by the state to migrate from a legacy student information system to a new platform within one academic year. The district had 47,000 records, hundreds of custom fields, and no internal IT capacity to manage the migration.

  The Solution: We project-managed the entire migration from data extract through validation, trained building-level staff on the new system, and established ongoing data governance procedures to prevent data degradation.

  Timeline: Data Audit → Custom Field Mapping → Parallel System Operation → Cutover & Validation
