Frontline Education

What it is

Frontline Education provides a suite of SaaS platforms purpose-built for K-12 district operations, including Frontline Central (HR and recruiting), Frontline Absence Management (substitute management), Frontline Professional Growth (PD tracking), and Frontline Special Ed & Interventions (IEP management). All products share a common SSO and API gateway.

When to use this skill

• Retrieving teacher PD transcript hours, course completions, and certification credit types for PD planning
• Checking position vacancies, employee certification status, and hiring pipeline for HR reporting
• Reading daily absence counts and substitute fill rates for administration dashboards
• Accessing IEP goal text, eligibility dates, placement type, and progress notes for special education support
• Reading observation rubric scores and growth goals (read-only) to inform PD recommendations

Credentials

This skill authenticates using env vars declared in the frontmatter metadata and provided via ~/.openclaw/.env (see .env.example at the segment root). Required variables:

• FRONTLINE_BASE_URL - Frontline API gateway base URL (e.g. https://api.frontlineeducation.com)
• FRONTLINE_CLIENT_ID - OAuth2 client ID issued by Frontline for the district integration
• FRONTLINE_CLIENT_SECRET - OAuth2 client secret; store in secrets manager, never in plaintext config

Key operations

• GET /professional-growth/transcripts/{employee_id} — fetch PD credit hours and course completions
• GET /absence-management/absences — query daily absence log with reason codes and fill status
• GET /central/employees/{id} — retrieve employee profile including certifications and evaluation scores
• GET /special-ed/ieps/{student_id} — read IEP document with goals, accommodations, and services
• GET /special-ed/ieps/{student_id}/progress-notes — retrieve periodic progress monitoring entries
• GET /evaluation/observations/{employee_id} — read-only access to observation ratings and feedback notes

Notes

• IEP data is protected under both FERPA and IDEA; access must be limited to staff with an educational need.
• Frontline uses product-scoped OAuth tokens; a single client credential does not grant access to all products — request only the product scopes needed.
• The Special Ed API is read-only for the agent; IEP documents must be reviewed and finalized by qualified staff.
• Rate limits and SLA tiers vary by product; check the Frontline developer portal for current quotas.
