School District No. 54 in Smithers, BC is the eighth school district in BC to enter into a partnership agreement with Book King Software. Book King will supply the School District with an integrated web based solution to manage facility reservation, facility maintenance, billing and accounts receivables.

Book King's all in one capabilities for scheduling, invoicing and reporting will reduce staff workload and administrative overheard by streamlining the scheduling process, preventing double or conflict bookings of facilities, and increasing the overall level of service the School District provides. The Web-based technology eliminates any need to purchase or upgrade computer workstations providing additional cost benefits.

The partnership will have the Book King Team and School District No. 54 working together to implement the application to meet their scheduling requirements. As a hosted solution, Book King is easy to implement as IT resources are not required for installation and maintenance. Users can be up and running within weeks.

"BC School Districts need to maximise their operating budgets and support their staff. Book King Software helps them to achieve that. We are looking forward to helping them build stronger relationships with their communities" says Greg Strong, Sales Director at Pacific Tier Solutions.

The Bulkley Valley School District is located in the province of British Columbia, Canada, Lat 54.20N, 126.20W. In the school district are the communities of Moricetown, Smithers, Telkwa, Quick and Houston. It contains nine schools: seven elementary and two high schools. The Bulkley Valley is named for Colonel Charles S. Bulkley, engineer-in-chief for the Western Union Telegraph Company's project to construct a telegraph line through the uncharted wilderness to Alaska. The name is, indeed, Bulkley, not Buckley or Bulkey as is sometimes misspelled. The school district is aptly named, with its schools drawing pupils within the valley drained by the Bulkley River and its tributaries.
