Buildings and Grounds Home
The Buildings & Grounds Department is dedicated to ensuring that our school district’s facilities and outdoor spaces are safe, clean, welcoming and well-maintained. The department oversees everything from custodial services and general maintenance to grounds care, athletic field upkeep, building upgrades, preventative maintenance, and health & safety compliance. Our goal is to provide students, staff and visitors with a physical environment that supports learning, growth, and community engagement.
We manage:
- Daily cleaning and upkeep of all interior building spaces (classrooms, offices, common areas)
- Mechanical, electrical, plumbing, HVAC and other system maintenance and repair
- Lawn care, landscaping, playgrounds, athletic fields, parking lots, sidewalks and outdoor campus grounds
- Snow removal, turf maintenance, line painting, outdoor lighting, and site safety
- Long-range facility planning, preventive maintenance programs and capital improvement projects
- Health, life, safety and code compliance (including indoor air quality, pest management, asbestos/lead monitoring, etc.)
- Facility use scheduling for community events and building rentals (as applicable)
Our mission is to support a healthy, safe, attractive, and functional learning environment so that every member of our district community can focus on teaching, learning and growing.
