It is currently used by Washtenaw County to manage Teacher assignments for the school week which runs from Monday thru Friday with the odd weekend day. In theory it is supposed to allow the user to look at available assignments based on their calendar which tracks open days versus reserved days. It also allows for a Global View looking at all Districts that you have permission to teach at.
  • Updates calendar immediately with open days
  • Sends a confirmation email based on activity
  • Allows the end user to contact the school / district with any questions
  • Will remove canceled assignments immediately so that you can be considered for new assignments
  • Not very intuitive
  • The Portal is cumbersome
  • You have to remember to save everything
  • It times out immediately if it does not detect any activity
Frontline handles basic activity very well, but it cannot handle more difficult scenarios such as swapping out assignments. For example, if a Teacher has an assignment and then that assignment gets canceled by the school due to snow, ice, or a facility issue such as loss of power, the end-user loses that day of pay. Frontline does not offer a global view so that assignments can be swapped.
  • Old technology that needs to be updated
  • It is a web based system, unless you want to pay for the app which is a waste of money
  • Does not offer a global view of all activity such as new assignments, cancelled assignments and modified assignments.
Red Rover was recently purchased by the Van Buren / Belleville school district. It offers a more complete picture of my activity. It gives me a drop down of all available assignments with a 3 month view that I can use to make educated decisions about any assignments I would be interested in. They also offer and app for the iphone which is very convenient
Frontline (as stated before) is old technology. The one glaring issue I have is that once you authenticate to the application, you have to keep an active session going without moving to a new window, getting a cup of coffee, etc. or your session will time out which is ridiculous to me. They claim that it is for security reason which is ridiculous because there is no sensitive data shared / protected that could be used against me.
Internal support is provided by EDU Staff based out of Grand Rapids. Whenever I have had an issue they are very responsive to my needs. For instance, there may be conflicts in the amount of money that was listed for the contract. There may be questions about the length of an assignment such as 1/2 day, full day, or early dismissal. The school will sometimes enter the wrong information. Very good IT support, but sometimes you are on hold for 5 to 10 minutes because they do not have enough workers in their Call Center

We use it across the whole Floyd County School System for teachers to post absences and assign substitutes. I love that I can do it from my phone or on the computer. My coworkers and I like that it shows our absence balances as well as favorite substitutes whom we can assign. It makes it easy to report an absence either the morning of or months in advance!
  • It’s easy to use on your mobile phone or computer.
  • It allows you to leave feedback on subs and see how others rated them.
  • I would like to see an app.
  • Some of my co-workers have had issues assigning a sub when using the website on their phone.
It is well suited whether you are planning to be absent months in advance and need to contact a sub ahead of time or if you wake up sick the morning of work and need to post an absence immediately. Subs can use it to look for openings they can fill.
Google Classroom is great for what it offers teachers in the classroom, but it isn’t an Absence Management software so it’s not comparable to Frontline Absence Management (formerly Aesop).
Every time I’ve contacted customer service, they’ve been very helpful.
