The conference, scheduled for November 9–11, 2026, aims to address the growing pressure on districts to balance aging infrastructure with limited financial resources. Facilitron CEO Jeff Benjamin argues that the industry has spent decades prioritizing basic access, but current economic realities demand a pivot toward comprehensive stewardship. This involves leveraging data-informed decision-making and transparency to ensure facilities remain viable public assets.
School District Leaders to Convene for Inaugural Stewardship Summit
School superintendents and operations experts will gather in La Jolla, California, this November for Facilitron University 6, a summit focused on shifting the management of public school facilities from mere access to long-term asset stewardship amidst rising operational costs and mounting community expectations.
Participants will examine case studies like the East Side Union High School District, which grew its annual facility-use revenue from $450,000 to nearly $2 million by refining its governance and operational visibility. The event will also feature the debut of the Facilitron Stewardship Awards, designed to honor leaders who excel in financial sustainability and community engagement. Confirmed attendees represent major districts including Albuquerque Public Schools, Hillsborough County Public Schools, and Newport-Mesa Unified School District, all looking to translate administrative visibility into greater public trust.
