We have one day custodian, but he is also our school projects guy. So he spends a lot of time building things, which means he doesn't always do his normal duties. He's also a volunteer firefighter, so he leaves a lot for calls.Wow....it sounds like they need some new custodians! Do you just have one during the day and one at night? Is there night school or something? I don't ever remember having night custodians at the elementary school. I know we did at the high school because of activities and sports, but I don't remember having anyone at night at the elementary school.
I was pretty shocked when I came here. There are no custodians. Kids have to clean their own classrooms. There are 2 kids each day who sweep, empty trash, put things away, etc. And at the high school, one class is given a month or two of cafeteria duty on a certain day of the week. My daughter was supposed to have Tuesdays through May....after every break, they had to clean up all the trash left behind, and they were supposed to use a broom and dustpan to clean off the tables. She said it's disgusting. Her class only did it twice before schools were closed, so she got out of it for the most part. But there is no custodian there to clean up.
If they know your custodians are so bad, why don't they replace them?
We have two night custodians to clean the building after school each day. Sweep rooms, clean bathrooms, etc. One on my half of the building, one on the other half.
We currently, or at least before the closures, had another night custodian, but he will be moving up to the high school when some new construction finishes next year. So we will lose him.
But in comparison, the high school and middle school both have two day custodians. The high school is bigger than ours, but I think the middle school is smaller.
