Los Gatos-based Facilitron, recently announced a new partnership with Miami-Dade County Public Schools (MDCPS), the fourth largest school district in the United States.
This collaboration brings Facilitron’s facility management system to more than 400 campuses in Miami-Dade County, which company officials say will allow the district to manage its spaces more efficiently, improve campus security and strengthen community engagement.
With this partnership, MDCPS joins 19 other Florida school districts already signed-up with Facilitron. The firm aims to transform how districts manage rentals, events and general building operations, while supporting campus safety operations, including during community events and emergencies.
“Our partnership with Miami-Dade County Public Schools is a significant milestone in our mission to help districts manage their spaces safely and efficiently,” said Jeff Benjamin, CEO of Facilitron, in a release. “By streamlining facility use, improving community engagement and reinforcing safety measures, we’re proud to support MDCPS in their commitment to delivering an excellent educational experience, while fostering strong ties with the local community.”
A company spokesperson said as schools increasingly serve as community hubs—offering space for sports leagues, cultural events and elections, managing facility use and ensuring campus security has become ever more critical.
Facilitron’s platform is designed to address such challenges with real-time scheduling, event management and attendee tracking, as well as preventive maintenance and security tools.
