Maintenance employees in a school district often include a variety of specialized roles, each contributing to the smooth operation of school facilities. These roles can include:

• Custodians: Responsible for cleaning and maintaining the interior of school buildings, custodians ensure classrooms, hallways, restrooms, and common areas are tidy, sanitized, and safe for students and staff. Their duties may include sweeping, mopping, trash removal, and restocking supplies.

• Groundskeepers: These employees maintain the outdoor areas of school campuses, such as lawns, gardens, athletic fields, and playgrounds. They perform landscaping tasks like mowing grass, trimming trees, planting flowers, and ensuring that outdoor spaces are safe and visually appealing.

• Couriers: In some districts, couriers are responsible for transporting documents, equipment, and supplies between schools and administrative offices. They may also deliver mail and assist in the movement of materials between buildings or departments.

Together, these maintenance roles help create a safe, clean, and well-functioning environment for students, teachers, and staff, supporting the educational mission of the school district. We are thankful for the hardworking and dedicated professionals in our Facilities Department!
