One Calendar, Every Building: How Des Moines Public Schools Streamlined Facility Management with Bound
“Bound having this facility scheduler piece and us being able to use it districtwide, we've been able to reduce the number of duplications [in workflow by] four or five times.”
Troy Owens | Activities & Athletics Program Manager - Des Moines Public School District
No more juggling.
Managing athletics and facilities across Des Moines Public Schools used to mean juggling multiple calendars, spreadsheets, and disconnected systems. Staff often found themselves copying and pasting the same information into several places just to keep schedules current.
“We had our athletic schedules in one thing, our building calendars in another, website calendars, school newsletter calendars in different places… it was way too inefficient. We were doing too much copying and pasting and retyping things.”
Bound brought everything into one platform, eliminating duplication and making schedules accessible across the entire district.

As one of Iowa’s largest districts, DMPS needed a system that could handle scale. Bound worked directly with Troy Owens and his team to adapt the facility scheduler for a multi-school environment, and the results have been significant.
“Coordinating with all of our buildings and having them use the same platform has been a tremendous thing… We basically [have] a calendar format that we can see any building in our district and what’s going on.”
Today, athletics, operations, and facilities staff share a single source of truth, reducing confusion and saving time across departments.
