Sorry, this post turned out longer than intended... I kind of went on a rant.
Ours do not keep the school clean. They don't go above and beyond. Our head custodian for our school does not budget for enough trash bags for the year. So we can possibly have the same trash bag in our garbage can for 2 weeks before they change it out. It's gross.
We submit "help tickets" when we need something fixed. I've had a closet door off the track for well over a year. He has never come to fix it.
Our bathrooms are gross. Last year we had some boy, not sure who, who would go an pee on the floor in the corner of the bathroom. Despite mutliple tickets and phone calls, it sat there all day before it got cleaned up.
One of our night custodians supposedly mopped a table to clean it. Yes, that's right MOPPED a table. You know, the same mop they use on the bathroom floors.
When there is an emergency clean up (vomit, or such), they will page a custodian to the office. The night custodian on my end of the building says he just ignores them when he's called.
We only get our carpets vacuumed once a week (at least that's how the schedule goes... often it is ignored and only done every couple weeks), and we are told they will only vacuum one of our carpets. The younger grade levels tend to have multiple carpets in their rooms.
When I was at a meeting, some boy from another grade level ran in my room and peed on the floor. Our custodian let it sit there for over an hour while he went out to get McDonalds for lunch, then came and ate it. So I had to bring my class back in after lunch to a room that had pee on the floor. Then when he came in, all he did was mop it up and spread it around. No disinfecting or anything.
Our rooms are often skipped when the night custodian comes by. I think he doesn't remember if he's done them or not, then just skips them. Once there was a goldfish on the floor from after snack. I intentionally left it there to see how long it would take before it got swept up. Over a week. If the pathway is too narrow for his large dust mop, he skips it.
Our sinks are not the best designed. When kids poor milk in them, there is not enough of a slope for it to go down the drain, so it sits there and curdles. I could count on one hand how often the sink gets clean in a year.
We lost access to the maintenance room to grab paper towels and soap on our own, so now when we need them refilled, we have to wait until the end of the day for the night custodian to refill it. Even if it's during the middle of the day. Unless we hunt down the day custodian, who is often nowhere to be found. And after school the night custodian typically does not check the soap or paper towels unless I say something. And even then he forgets. Even if I open up the paper towel dispenser for him to clearly see.
Our day custodian is often found watching Netflix in his office.
It's very frustrating. Especially when I have a friend who teaches in a school about 20 miles away. She says her custodians vacuum her carpets daily, leave absolutely nothing on the floors, and even paint the handrails of the stairs. So different.
