A capital plan your board will approve.
Equity built in, so the schools that need it most are not last in line.
Most districts run hundreds of buildings on spreadsheets, tribal knowledge, and bond money that shows up once a decade. We turn what your team already knows into evidence your board, your community, and the bond folks can act on.
What districts are up against
Aging buildings, tight budgets, and a public that watches every line item. Facilities management has all three at once.
Average school building age is over 50 years in most urban districts
Boilers, roofing membranes, and electrical panels installed in the 1970s are running well past their expected service life. Replacement parts get harder to find every year.
Bond cycles leave 8 to 10 year gaps between rounds of funding
By the time the next bond passes, the deferred list has compounded. Districts end up replacing systems they could have repaired five years earlier for a fraction of the cost.
Portable classrooms meant to be temporary are now decades old
HVAC units on portables fail more often, leaks damage interiors, and the structures were never designed for the permanent loads they carry.
Summer is the only real maintenance window, and it keeps shrinking
Year-round programs and summer enrichment cut into available downtime. Crews triage instead of finishing full replacements.
How Rivolq helps
school districts
Know which schools need money first, not just which ones complain loudest
We score every building and every system by condition, criticality, and remaining useful life. You walk into the board meeting with evidence, not anecdotes.
Build the evidence package your bond measure needs to pass
Facility condition reports, projected failure timelines, and what doing nothing actually costs. The community gets a clear picture of the choice.
See deferred maintenance across hundreds of buildings in one place
No more spreadsheet archaeology. Every boiler, roof section, and electrical panel across every campus is scored, tracked, and surfaced before it fails.
Stay ready for state facility assessments and ADA reviews
Inspection-ready documentation for every system in every building. When the state auditor calls, your records are already organized.
K–12 facilities questions, answered.
Common questions from school district facilities, operations, and business officials evaluating Rivolq.
How does Rivolq help districts plan around bond cycles and summer windows?
Rivolq ranks every building and system by failure risk and dollar exposure, so when a bond measure or summer maintenance window opens, your team already knows which projects to sequence first and can show the work. The plan is built continuously rather than assembled in a rush before each funding cycle.
Can Rivolq help us build a capital request the school board will approve?
Yes. Rivolq produces board-ready capital requests that quantify what each project costs, what deferring it risks, and how spending is sequenced over time. Because every number traces back to documented building condition, the request holds up to the board, the community, and state facility reviewers.
Can Rivolq handle aging buildings across an entire district?
It is built for multi-building portfolios. Districts model every school, the systems inside them, and the dependencies between them in one workspace, so a roof, boiler, or HVAC risk is visible and comparable across the whole district instead of buried in one building's records.
Does Rivolq replace our current work-order system?
It does not have to. Rivolq includes a full CMMS for work orders and preventive maintenance, but it can also import your existing asset register and work history and layer risk scoring and capital planning on top of what your maintenance team already uses.
How fast can a district see results?
A scoped pilot generally runs about 90 days from the first school to a capital plan you can take to the board. Most districts start with one building or one system type to prove the workflow on real assets before expanding district-wide.

Maintenance Request Portal
A public, no-login request form lets occupants and site staff report issues by link or QR code for your team to triage.
OperationsBuild a Practical Preventive Maintenance Program
Start your PM program with critical assets, pick the right trigger type, and understand why a scheduled PM might not generate.
IntelligenceCapital Planning
The Capital Planner ranks assets by replacement priority and runs budget scenarios to produce a defensible, multi-year, exportable spend plan.
Stop managing maintenance by crisis.
Move from reactive repairs to a plan you can defend. The next bond dollar goes where it matters most.
