District plans to market facilities and expand leasing as revenue source, superintendent says
Summary
Superintendent Prince told the board St. Lucie Public Schools will aggressively market facilities and gymnasiums for leasing to generate revenue to support staff compensation and district programs.
Superintendent Prince told the board the district is marketing school facilities and gymnasiums for lease as an additional revenue stream. He framed the effort as a way to redistribute resources to staff compensation and to brand the district to the community.
"We are going to be very aggressive in this market," Prince said, citing recent outreach to principals and a push to ensure facilities are well maintained for outside groups. He credited operations and finance staff for setting leasing procedures and said the district sees facility rental as a potentially "lucrative" revenue source that can support employees.
Prince asked staff to continue coordinating marketing, noting that facility use requires operational oversight to keep schools first-class while generating revenue. He said this is part of a broader effort, alongside the a la carte program and other enterprise approaches, to diversify district revenue.
