NMUSD-Facilitron Use of Facilities Information
You can view and request all district facilities at the NMUSD-Facilitron Use of Facilities Website
In partnering with Facilitron, Newport-Mesa 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.
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 Newport-Mesa 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.
Moving forward, the only way to request use of a district facility is by creating a Facilitron account and submitting a request online. For those who had reservations with Newport-Mesa Unified School District prior to Facilitron, accounts have already been created on your behalf, and an automated email has been sent to you to create a password to access your renter account. 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.
Although the process of requesting/approval/management of facility use is now digital, what’s implemented on Facilitron, remains the same as dictated by Newport-Mesa Unified School District’s board policies on facility use.
The district’s administrative staff makes final decisions on all facility use requests.
