Facility Rental

Palo Alto Unified School District is pleased to announce a new online facility request and rental system designed to provide a positive user experience for all. With the new system, reservation requests can be submitted easily and will be handled more efficiently. Renters will be able to access photos and descriptions, see real-time availability, get estimated quotes and pay online.

In partnering with Facilitron, Palo Alto Unified School District has launched custom facility use sites for the district and each school - allowing facility use requests to be submitted at any time. (Note: the lead time for all requests is 35 days).

View and request District Facilities.

Although the process of requesting/approval/management of facility use is now digital, what's implemented on Facilitron remains the same as the current Palo Alto Unified School District's board policies on facility use. The district's administrative staff makes final decisions on all facility use requests.

Facilitron will assist with the set-up of organization and user accounts along with verification of non-profit status (if applicable). Facilitron will also collect payment and proof of insurance (certificate of insurance) on Palo Alto Unified School District's behalf. Payments can be submitted conveniently on Facilitron. Payment options include major credit cards, checks, ACH/eCheck, and Paypal. Proof of insurance (certificate of insurance) can also be conveniently uploaded into the system, and/or it can be obtained directly through Facilitron.

If you need any assistance setting up an account and/or in submitting a facility use request, you can contact Facilitron directly at: support@facilitron.com, or by calling them at: 800-272-2962 ext 1, or by visiting Facilitron support page.

For questions, please contact Terri Curtis in the Risk Management office at tcurtis@pausd.org or 650-833-4261.
