Buildings and Grounds

 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.
