AESOP Frontline, the BUSD absent management website features a list of substitute teachers that qualify for BFT bargaining unit requestable status through provisions in the BFT/BUSD contract.  It is each teacher’s responsibility to prearrange only bargaining unit substitutes. The list subsitutes and their contacts will appear under the "Create Absence & Assign Sub" option. BFT Bargaining Unit Subs pay Union dues and deserve the preference provided to them under the contract.  We need to support our substitute teachers so that there is a cadre of experienced teachers available when needed.

If you have any questions call BFT at (510) 549-2307 or email vicepresident@berkeleyteachers.org.
