CUSTODIAL SERVICES

The Custodial Services employs nearly 170 custodians to maintain the 4 million square feet of interior space the school district owns and operates. Each custodian is responsible for maintaining in excess of 20,000 square feet of space.  (How would you like to clean an area about ten times the size of your average home each day? Keep in mind that the “family” you’d be cleaning up after has about 175 members – because that is roughly how many students and staff each custodian provides service to.) 
 

Custodial Services Resources

Not only do these individuals perform the routine day-to-day cleaning, but they also do project work such as striping, waxing and buffing of vinyl and concrete floors, stain removal and shampooing of carpets, furniture relocation, snow and ice removal, and numerous other tasks in support of the educational staff and community.  The building custodians also care for the 110 acres of parking lots, sidewalks and walkways around their buildings, and provide services for over 17,000 after-school community activities per year (adult education, recreational, social, and civic activities, etc.).

Finally, in order to improve the effectiveness of support to our customers, the custodial staff is continuing to transition more and more of their routine paper processes to computerized systems. They are now able to order supplies, control heating, air-conditioning and lighting systems, write work orders, communicate, access information such as hazardous chemicals, handling, storage and personal protective equipment data, and complete other vital safety training using our networked computer systems.
