This includes performing routine custodial duties and minor maintenance and repair tasks to ensure facilities are clean, safe, and in good working order. Custodians also support school events by setting up and breaking down furniture and equipment. Each Custodian is assigned to a specific campus but may be reassigned as operational needs change.
