C’Essence Palmer joined the School District in May 2019 as an Operations Intern in the Facilities and Maintenance department. She is currently working for the District full-time, as an Operations Trainee, while also attending school full-time at Temple University. In her role at the District, she is responsible for Use of Facilities and specializes in managing the rentals of school facilities. At Temple, C’Essence is a senior, majoring in Accounting, and minoring in International Business. She expects to graduate in Spring 2022.

C’Essence was recently asked to oversee the implementation of the Facilitron rollout plan. Facilitron is an exciting addition to the way facility usage is currently managed that will streamline the current process. Users will be able to make and complete reservations for facilities through the Facilitron website. Facilitron will hold reservations for school buildings as well as the administrative building. C’Essence will continue working with Facilitron after the initial launch.
