🏫 Good governance is about more than opening the doors. It's about making sure those doors can stay open.

School facilities play an important role in bringing communities together, but without clear policies, consistent fees, and an understanding of operating costs, community use can place an unintended burden on school district resources.

The solution isn't to limit access. It's to build a sustainable framework that supports both schools and the communities they serve.
That's why strong facility-use governance matters. 💙

Trent Allen and Cheryl Galloway joined the National Center on School Infrastructure (NCSI) on its Stretched podcast to discuss the true cost of community use, the importance of clear policies, and how districts can balance community access with financial sustainability.

Our Facilitron team, Jackson Benjamin and Cheryl Galloway, had a fantastic time at VSPMA connecting with school facilities professionals from across Virginia! 🏫

One of the highlights was getting to spend time with our partners at Virginia Beach City Public Schools! It's always exciting to connect with the people behind the work and celebrate the relationships that help make stronger school communities possible.

Between great conversations, familiar faces, new connections, and a few fun giveaways, it was a great experience all around! 🎉

A big thank-you to VSPMA for bringing everyone together and to everyone who stopped by our booth. We look forward to seeing you again!

The Future of School Facility Stewardship
What's next? Hear from leaders across education, operations, finance, technology, and governance as they share perspectives and practical next steps for the future.

What does community use actually cost your district?

That’s just one of the questions at the heart of a recent conversation featuring Facilitron’s Trent Allen and Cheryl Galloway on the National Center on School Infrastructure’s Stretched podcast.

In Episode 16, “Community Use: Counting and Sharing the Costs,” Trent and Cheryl explore the costs that can easily go overlooked when school facilities are opened to the community, and how districts can create programs that balance access with responsible stewardship.

From understanding operating costs and utilization to connecting fees with those costs and creating consistent policies, it starts with asking the right questions.
