REGISTRATION CLOSED
Facilitron University 5 Preview

Facilitron University is the must-attend gathering for district leaders redefining how schools manage and govern their facilities. Designed for superintendents, chief business officials, operations leaders, and board members, FU5 will spotlight the launch of the National Model School Board Facility Use Policy and other resources, and introduce new tools like a comprehensive Facility Use Audit that help districts modernize oversight, standardize processes, and align policy with mission.

This year's program will feature keynotes, panels, and case studies that confront governance failure, pricing reform, and equity in access—while showcasing how technology and governance together form the foundation of Strategic Facility Management . FU5 is more than a conference; it's a national stage for change.
