Custodial Services Managerial Goals

The Custodial Services managerial team is dedicated to establishing a uniformed method of service throughout the District that provides a clean and sanitary environment at all schools. Our objective is to assist site administrators with understanding core custodial functions while fostering a team-like quality work environment. In order to attain these goals, Custodial Services will:

  • Meet regularly with administrators to assess custodial operations and overall work quality. 
  • Conduct comprehensive site inspections and establish site-specific custodial work schedules. 
  • Oversee and maintain accurate records of custodial personnel attendance, including approval and tracking of leave. 
  • Support administrators by providing guidance to custodial staff on assigned tasks and implementing appropriate performance improvement measures when concerns arise. 
  • Coordinate substitute staffing to ensure consistent coverage across sites.

 

  •  Provide ongoing training to custodial employees on technical cleaning practices and emerging industry standards. 
  • Foster collaborative relationships among administrators, custodians, families, visitors, and the Custodial Services leadership team to promote a positive working environment. 
  • Enforce Head, Lead, or Day Custodians to submit required weekly restroom inspection reports. 
  • Collaborate with HRSS to facilitate the placement and assignment of custodial personnel. - What is HRSS??
  • Partner with Labor Management Employee Relations and American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) Local 257 to uphold contractual employee rights. 
  • Continually research and develop modern cleaning techniques to enhance service quality and efficiency.
