Board Approves New ERP and Timekeeping System FWÏã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖ±²¥¿ª½± Transitions From Munis, Kronos, and SmartFind to Frontline ERP July 2025 The Business and Finance Department is proud to announce that the FWÏã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖ±²¥¿ª½± Board of Education approved Frontline ERP as the district’s new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and timekeeping system.

Submitted vendor proposals were evaluated, and three were selected for district employees to view and provide feedback on.
