the school, turning on the lights, outside duties, and cleanup during the school day. He also checks on the school on Saturday and Sunday afternoons. Kim works at the school from 10AM to 6 PM and assists with cleanup duties during the day as well as sweeping rooms and emptying trash cans once the students have left the school. Buck and Sandy arrive at school at 3 and work until 11 PM. They are responsible for sweeping rooms, emptying trash cans, and cleaning up after athletic contests. Mr. Poole, assistant principal at John Battle is currently in charge of the custodial staff. One change made in Washington County this year was to move all maintenance workers to the central office. Before the change a maintenance worker would have been assigned to two or three schools. Now work orders must be filled out by administrators and once each school reaches a high enough number the head of maintenance will send workers to the school to try and complete them all at one time. This change has not been well received at John Battle.

As an administrator it's important to meet with the custodians on a regular basis to discuss the grounds of the campus. I would recommend meeting with the head custodian every Monday morning to map out a plan for the week. The plans would include regular duty jobs and any plans for big projects that might take place in the future. It would also be a good idea to rotate duties between janitors to break up the monotony and learn new skills in case of turnover. It would be wise to create a list of tasks to be completed each week and have the janitors place their initials beside the tasks that been completed. To help the janitors I would add a landscaping course to the curriculum to improve the outside look of the grounds as well as maintaining it throughout the school year. This would benefit students since they would be learning workplace readiness skills.

For evaluation purposes teachers would be asked for feed back about the cleanliness of their rooms and the building. Teachers are in their classrooms and around the building everyday. Their input would be very beneficial. If custodians are not doing their job they would be given steps to correct their mistakes. If the necessary changes did not get implemented the janitors would then need to be replaced. ||
