Facilitron is an online facility reservation system utilized by ���ϱ��� ISD. It provides calendaring tools that accommodate both internal scheduling and external reservation requests. In addition, it allows the community to easily search all District facilities and get results that display photos, location, description, capacity, amenities, rates, and availability—all at a glance.
Renters directly submit payment and required insurance documents via the platform, removing the need for staff to manually process via phone or email.
