MAINTENANCE DEPARTMENT

The Maintenance Department has complete Carpentry, Paint and Furniture repair shops, as well as Electrical, Plumbing and Steamfitter shops (Steamfitters are the people that maintain the heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems).  The building also contains a Welding shop, Locksmith shop, Glazing shop, and Mechanics shop.  Our District mechanics repair and maintain over 150 vehicles, including trucks, vans, sedans, trailers and heavy equipment (such as back-hoes, forklifts and boom trucks).  These folks are also responsible for the maintenance of snow-blowers, lawnmowers, trimmers, weed-eaters and other grounds keeping equipment.  Our grounds crew provides care and maintenance for 310 developed acres and 72 undeveloped acres.  This work includes mowing, edging, aerating, weed control and removal of organic debris and litter.  Finally our Support Operators group provides various types of support to the other craftsmen.  They operate heavy equipment, work with jackhammers, cut concrete, move large or heavy items and perform many other vital functions.

The newest shop at the maintenance facility is the Energy Management Systems group.  The EMS group manages networked lighting, heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems at 54 district facilities.  They control these systems through centralized computer monitoring.  This allows them to program each location for the most efficient operation and greatest degree of occupant comfort.  They can remotely program temperatures, or turn systems off during unoccupied hours, as well as pre-program schedules for holidays and special events.  In a very short period of time, this group has saved the school district many thousands of dollars in energy consumption.
