Key Committee Questions

Key questions help guide the collection of relevant facts and the development of sub-criteria

  1. What are the minimum requirements to maintain a safe learning and working environment across the District?
  2. Given declining resources, should we continue to provide the same level of service?
  3. How does community use affect custodial staffing requirements?
  4. How does custodial staffing (frequency of cleaning) affect student health, safety and achievement?
  5. What additional investments can we make in training, equipment or materials, if any, to ultimately reduce the long-term expenditure of resources (time, people, money)?
  6. How can we change conditions to maximize resources?
  7. Should the current custodial supervisory model be modified for increased effectiveness and better use of resources?
  8. Is there a more efficient and effective way to provide custodial services?

Facts
  • Our Custodial Team does an outstanding job with providing a safe, healthy, learning environment
  • CKSD will continue to lose enrollment through 2012 (to 10,000)
  • CKSD will continue to downsize (personnel, NERCs, equipment, etc.)
  • 1994 staffing levels were higher than current
  • Currently custodial cleaning model is modified route versus team cleaning
  • Some classrooms require more cleaning to attain the same level of indoor environmental quality
  • Absent passage of a capital projects election, the capital facilities fund will continue to decline and minimal investments
Assumptions
  • The custodial staffing will not be increased
  • Pool stays open
  • Configuration doesn’t change
  • As buildings continue to age, including the materials and equipment within the building, it becomes more difficult to maintain a safe environment and to work within our resources as well as to work toward savings
  • As current Custodians retire or depart, CKSD will hire well qualified new employees and continue to invest in training so we can maintain a safe learning environment
  • The current school schedule including length of a school day and year will not be changed
  • Level of custodial staffing has a direct impact on indoor environmental air quality
  • Focus on cleaning for health versus cleaning for appearance will increase school indoor environmental quality
  • Schools with higher indoor environmental quality have a positive impact on student health and achievement
