Lunch & Learn Webinar: I'm an Educator, Not an Engineer: Empowering Educators to Manage School Facilities
 by Siemens
Friday, September 19th | Noon

Zoom

As educators, we understand the critical role that the learning environment plays in supporting student success and teacher effectiveness. However, many school districts face significant challenges when it comes to managing their facilities, including budget constraints, increasing deferred maintenance, and a lack of actionable information to make informed decisions.

To address these issues, we are excited to invite you to an upcoming webinar that will provide an overview of the key trends and challenges impacting school facilities. The webinar will also explore solutions aimed at helping districts optimize their resources and make the right decisions for their buildings and grounds.

As one superintendent recently noted, "I'm an Educator, not an Engineer." This webinar is designed to bridge that gap, empowering educators with the knowledge and tools they need to effectively manage their school facilities, even without an engineering background.

Did you know?

• A study by the U.S. Government Accountability Office found that schools with high levels of deferred maintenance had 12-15% lower student test scores
• Researchers at the 21st Century School Fund determined that schools deferring maintenance were 20% more likely to have poor indoor air quality, leading to higher rates of student and teacher absenteeism due to health issues
• A report by the National Center for Education Statistics indicated that teachers in schools with significant deferred maintenance were 18% more likely to report job dissatisfaction and burnout, negatively impacting student learning.
• Researchers at the University of Tulsa determined that students in classrooms with higher levels of illumination (500-600 lux) scored 7-12% higher on standardized tests than students in classrooms with lower light levels (300-400 lux).
• A study by the National Center for Education Statistics showed that students in schools built before 1960 had 12% higher rates of absenteeism compared to students in schools built after 1990, likely due to poorer building conditions and environmental factors.

  We encourage all school leaders, facilities managers, and interested stakeholders to attend this informative session.
