Large school districts do not struggle with capital planning because they lack data. They struggle because turning facility condition data, cost assumptions, and district priorities into decisions leaders can defend is far more difficult than collecting the information in the first place.

School districts know the stakes. Aging buildings, deferred maintenance, limited budgets, and growing expectations for transparency have made strategic asset management a necessity — not a nice-to-have. Yet many K-12 districts discover that implementing asset lifecycle management software is far more challenging than selecting a platform. The problem usually isn't the technology itself. It's the rollout.

How Intellis helps K-12 school districts turn field data into confident planning, stronger prioritization, and better capital decisions.

Learn what district leaders discussed at the Council of the Great City Schools (CGCS) conference, including best practices for K‑12 facilities planning, capital prioritization, and when to implement K-12 capital planning software.

Capital planning decisions require more than a project list. These five questions can help K12 schools evaluate data quality, prioritize with confidence, and strengthen budget justification.

Intellis is pleased to announce that CEO Steven Warshaw will attend the Council of the Great City Schools Chief Operating Officers and Operational Directors Conference in Detroit, Michigan, April 21–24, 2026.

School districts are under growing pressure to make capital decisions that are transparent, strategic, and financially sound.
