Case Study: Newburgh Enlarged City School District achieves 80% faster event booking and streamlined maintenance with Brightly Software

New York District Saves Time & Increases Efficiency with SchoolDude Solutions

Newburgh Enlarged City School District in Newburgh, NY, serves 11,623 students across 16 buildings and hosts 750+ community events each year. The district struggled with an inefficient maintenance and scheduling process—work orders were submitted by fax and interoffice mail—making it hard to track work, manage budgets, and schedule facilities efficiently.

The district implemented SchoolDude’s web-based maintenance and facility scheduling solutions, including a mobile-access requester portal. Results included reducing paper requests from 50 to 10 cases per year, 25% portal adoption within two months, and cutting event booking time from 60 days to 2 days (an 80% reduction), delivering faster scheduling, time and cost savings, and improved accessibility.
