Transforming Maintenance at One of America’s Largest School Districts

Prinschers County Public Schools is K-twelve organization. We have roughly two ten schools, forty office buildings, one hundred and thirty six thousand kids, and we're the eighteenth largest district in the nation. We have a lot of older buildings. We'd love to be at a place where we can perform more preventive maintenance. Unfortunately, at the moment, due to staffing, we are running to failure. So it does create a lot of issues. The goal has been over the past decade to meet one hundred days for our open work orders. And actually last week we reached one hundred and one days. So we're making a lot of great improvements with Brightly, honestly. Being able to kind of track where our work orders are more efficiently, run reports easier so we're able to reassign, reassess, and in some cases, actually bring in contractors to take some of the load off of us. We've been with Brightly for over a decade. It's just not a nameless company. Sometimes reaching out to support, they'll recognize a name. So understanding that you all listen and you take that feedback and you care about it, is very important. I'm a product of the same system that I work for, so I have a lot of personal passion for it. And I want to make sure the kids that are in the area that we serve have the education that they need. And if you don't have heating or cooling, electricity or comfortable workplaces or school locations, you're not going to learn effectively. So I take a lot of pride in that and hope to give back to the community that raised me basically.
