The responsibility of maintaining the District's facilities requires a wide range of services and expertise from our Classified staff. We provide facilities management, general maintenance and repair, preventive maintenance, custodial support, groundskeeping and weed and pest management services to all building sites throughout the District, supporting:

* 41 permanent structures
* Over 458,000 square feet of schools and buildings
* 117 restrooms (does not include stalls)
* Approximately 1,000 work orders are completed yearly

The buildings maintained and utilized range in age from being built in 1930 (old bus barn at Safford Middle School) to the most recent addition at Mt. Graham High School in 2005 and the Center For The Arts in 2007.

We also pride ourselves in the work which goes unnoticed. Adhering to the Arizona School Facilities Board Preventive Maintenance Program, preventative maintenance is performed year round on all school facilities to reduce major unscheduled repairs.
