Maintenance & Operations
The Maintenance and Operations Department coordinates and manages the District's maintenance and repair of school buildings, their associated environmental systems such as heating or cooling plants, and surrounding landscaped grounds and playfields. Maintenance and Operations also oversee the deferred maintenance of modernization projects and supervise District custodial services in cooperation with site administrators.
The ultimate goal of the Maintenance Department is to provide a clean, orderly, safe, cost-effective, and instructional supportive school environment that contributes to the school district’s mission of educating our children to meet the intellectual, physical, and emotional demands of the 21st century.
Safety, operations, and risk management also fall under the purview of Maintenance and Operations, with the goal of providing a safe and healthy environment for the approximately 3,000 students and 100 employees of the Metropolitan Education District. This mission is supported through periodic inspections of existing district facilities, and careful review of all safety and emergency preparedness plans to ensure a school environment that promotes powerful teaching and learning.
