District recommends Red Rover contract for employee absence and hiring platform; board told it will save about $4,000 annually
Summary
Administration recommended a three‑year contract with Red Rover Technologies to replace the district’s employee absence and hiring platform, citing improved substitute communications, onboarding, reporting, and an annual savings of roughly $4,000.
The board heard a recommendation to adopt Red Rover Technologies as the district’s new employee absence management and hiring platform. Presenters said the three‑year contract will reduce annual costs by about $4,000 and offer an app and SMS messaging aimed at improving substitute fill rates.
Mrs. Galdo described features including employee absence submission, two‑way texting with substitutes, an online hiring/onboarding workflow, and enhanced reporting for principals and HR. She said multiple nearby districts have already adopted the platform and that the district expects better substitute engagement than with robocalls.
Board members asked clarifying questions about whether the platform tracks student attendance (it does not; it is for employees only) and whether the stated $4,000 savings is annual (presenter confirmed it is annually). No formal vote was recorded during the April 7 meeting in the transcript.
