LOS ANGELES, June 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — June 4, 2025 – EdTech Breakthrough, a leading market intelligence organization that recognizes the top companies and solutions in the global educational technology market, today announced that Frontline Education, a leading provider of administration software purpose-built for educators in K-12, has been selected as winner of the “Education Administration Solution of the Year” award in the 7th annual EdTech Breakthrough Awards program.
The 2025 EdTech Breakthrough Award recognizes the innovation of Frontline Human Capital Management (HCM) — a comprehensive suite designed exclusively for the unique challenges of K-12 education. Frontline HCM brings together all the essential components of K-12 human resources into a unified, connected ecosystem that empowers school and district leaders to make informed decisions, streamline processes, and focus more energy on supporting staff and students.
“Frontline’s HCM creates an environment where students can thrive and staff feel empowered. K-12 institutions face unique challenges like recruiting, onboarding, certification tracking, and substitute management,” said Steve Johansson, Managing Director, EdTech Breakthrough. “By centralizing and automating these processes, Frontline helps districts work more strategically and reduce time spent on administrative burdens.”
A Comprehensive Portfolio Purpose-Built for K-12
The Frontline HCM suite includes:
- Absence & Time – Offers a complete view of attendance, helps manage leave requests and substitute coverage, and integrates with payroll for accuracy and efficiency.
- Recruiting & Hiring – Enables schools to identify and hire top candidates faster while improving the applicant experience and onboarding process.
- Frontline Central – Serves as the hub for employee records and HR workflows, providing a connected, district-wide view of staff and tasks.
- Professional Growth – Helps educators grow their careers through evaluations, mentorships, certification tracking, and personalized learning.
- Human Capital Analytics – Delivers real-time workforce insights to inform planning, monitor compliance, and align HR strategies to district goals.
Together, these solutions eliminate data silos, reduce manual work, and create consistency across departments — all in service of building strong, effective teams.
“More than just software, our HCM suite is built to help school systems rise to the moment — whether they’re navigating staffing shortages, meeting compliance requirements, or investing in the professional growth of their teams,” said Matt Strazza, CEO of Frontline Education. “We’re honored by this recognition from EdTech Breakthrough, and we’ll continue to support the educators who make a difference every day by providing solutions that reduce administrative strain and increase time spent on what matters most: student success.”
