4.  TISD is public school district comprising 5 high schools, 18 intermediate schools, and 34 elementary schools.  TISD is funded by the state of Texas via district property taxes collected from home owners.  The substitute department is the main manager of the system.  SEMS (Substitute & Employee Management System) is already in place, but needs more functionality.

5.  The system in place is adequate but lacks expandability and customization.  The language that the current system is written in is Java using “net beans”  SEMS was developed by a 3 rd party and can not easily be modified for custom features needed by TISD.

6.  Teachers need to be able to post absences so that their classes will be covered while they are out.  Substitutes need a portal that they can find and book job assignments.  Principals need to know who is out.  The district needs an automated system to generate paychecks for substitutes.

7.  Teachers  Can post when they will be absent.  Can request a particular substitute.  Will be notified that their class is being covered.  Provide feedback on the substitute.  Substitutes  Can look for postings in areas that they are affluent in.  Feedback will let them know how they are doing.

8.  The School Administration  Principle can run a report generated by the system to show who is out and what is covered.  Can manually add or change jobs for teachers.  The Payroll Department  Can automatically generate checks for substitutes.  Can print payroll reports based on jobs worked throughout the district.

9.  Teachers have an easy way to have someone cover their classes.  Substitutes have an easy way to find jobs.  Principles can check to see who is out and know what jobs are covered.  The payroll department will no longer have to generate checks manually.

10.  The Reports from the system will help the administration for enhancing their manpower  The Feedback that the Substitute receive will encourage them and other substitute for more better performance

11.  Since the ISD is state funded, there will be more red tape to go through to get this project completed.  The current system must remain in place until the new system is completely operational.  The new system must be easy to transition to and as easy to use as the as-is system while providing more functionality.
