PowerSchool SmartFind Express

Overview

Overview

PowerSchool SmartFind Express is a K–12 absence-management and substitute-placement system. Employees enter absences, administrators configure job and qualification rules, and the system contacts eligible substitutes so they can review and accept assignments without staff making every placement manually.

Placement decisions depend on the employee’s assignment, absence dates, substitute qualifications, and acceptance status. School offices and HR reconcile coverage while payroll handles the resulting employment activity.

Features

Features

Automated job filling

Employee and substitute access

  • Allows employees to report absences and provide job details while substitutes manage availability, search assignments, and accept or decline work.
  • Mobile tools and district-specific access methods reduce calls to the substitute desk.

Administration and reporting

  • Provides administrative oversight of open and filled jobs, substitute activity, staffing trends, and exception conditions.
  • District rules and integrations determine leave approval, timesheet, payroll, and identity workflows.
