FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
June 20, 2007

(El Dorado Hills, California) - Total School Solutions and Helm Solutions Group announced today that they have formed a strategic partnership. Total School Solutions, Inc (“TSS”), a Fairfield, California-based consulting firm serves schools and school districts by providing a comprehensive menu of support in educational services, fiscal services, facilities and operations, and human resources. Helm Solutions Group, Inc. (“HSG”), an El Dorado Hills, California-based enterprise software development firm is the provider of the Online Collective Bargaining (OCB) system.

TSS sees significant advantages in leveraging the OCB system in its professional consulting services practice with K-12 and Community College districts in California. “OCB contains over 16,000 current collective bargaining documents from K-12 districts across California, our access to that information will streamline our research while working with our clients,” said Tahir Ahad, President of TSS, “We also believe that a number of our clients will be very interested in subscribing to the OCB system to gain access to the OCB document search engine, online surveys, TimeTracker for mandated costs reimbursements and many other powerful features.”

“We have looked at a number of partnership opportunities, and TSS’s broad range of professional services for school districts, an extensive track record of successes and the obvious fit between our two companies made this an attractive relationship with a strong future,” reported Jon Foster, CEO of HSG, “HSG is marketing OCB in many other states across the United States and is excited to bring TSS’s services to the table as part of each opportunity.”

The OCB system, a highly secure and easy to use Internet-based system, was originally developed in 2003 with the Community College League of California. It is a successful solution for colleges with over 6600 documents in the database. The types of documents include collective bargaining agreements, salary schedules, job descriptions, benefits and many others. HSG has since launched OCB into the California K-12 market and quickly acquired over 16,000 documents bringing instant value to the subscribing school districts. The system is offered as an annual subscription and the cost is claimable for reimbursement.

Total School Solutions, Inc. (www.totalschoolsolutions.net) provides service and expertise in virtually every field in public education. Helm Solutions Group, Inc. (www.helmsolutions.com) develops, supports and markets the Online Collective Bargaining (OCB) system to K-12 and Community College systems across the US.
