A tremendous amount of coordination between departments, divisons and private contractors has to happen in order for us to conduct and complete our daily operation and projects. A diverse and knowledgeable staff, keeps the division embracing its responsibility of aiding our students, their families and our instructional staff.

Schools and Administrators can enter non-urgent work orders in our SchoolDude work order system.     You can call Maintenance if a work order needs to be explained for more clarity, but a call is not a substitute for a work order.  All urgent requests need to be called into Maintenance immediately so that they can be addressed. Urgent issues include power outages, extreme building temperature issues, no hot water in cafeteria, security system issues, fire alarms or extreme plumbing issues, etc.
