Estes Park School District R3

Eric Adams, the Director of Operations and Transportation for the Estes Park School District R3 in Colorado, discusses the challenges of managing an aging infrastructure (up to 62 years old) with limited resources. His primary goal is finding efficiencies in workflows to keep the facilities running smoothly.

The district adopted FMX to centralize their operations. Eric highlights the initial challenge of fully implementing the system—inputting all users, resources, and building details—which is now mostly complete. Their current focus is on implementing preventive maintenance plans and getting all staff to fully utilize FMX for maintenance, scheduling, transportation, and technology requests.

Eric states that the calendar feature in FMX has been the most significant impact on daily operations. It acts as a single, central, and efficient point for scheduling rooms, planning trips, and coordinating all district access and information, which is a major improvement over relying on email.
