Welcome to the Operations Department

The Operations Department is committed to maintaining a safe and positive school environment that encourages learning.  

The Operations Department oversees both maintenance and transportation.   Responsibilities of the department include grounds and building maintenance, construction activities, facility usage, and daily transportation services for students across nine school sites and multiple district complexes.

With student safety as one of our main focuses, we work hand in hand with all public agencies ensuring compliance with building codes, safety mandates and environmental regulations.  Mechanical and life safety systems are routinely inspected to ensure proper operation.

Through the preservation and protection of district resources, we believe our facilities will continue to serve our students and community well into the future.
