Case Study: Wortham Independent School District achieves centralized facility management and data-driven budgeting with Brightly Software

Small School District Improves Facilities with Operations Software

Wortham Independent School District, a rural Texas district of about 515 students led by Superintendent Dr. Bruce Tabor, faced inefficiency and failing paper processes while managing aging facilities. With staff often wearing multiple roles, the district lacked centralized operations management to track requests, maintenance needs and budget priorities.

Dr. Tabor implemented existing SchoolDude solutions and provided iPads for staff and students to collect and centralize data, generate reports and assign accountability. The district now prioritizes maintenance, eliminated hallway requests, and used data-driven reports to justify budget decisions—such as replacing nine aging A/C units—improving efficiency and facilities management.
