Maintenance, Grounds and Custodial Services
Maintenance and Grounds
The maintenance and grounds team is responsible for the maintenance, repair, upkeep and safe operations for all Upper Arlington School facilities for the purpose of maintaining a quality learning and work environment for students and staff.
This team oversees approximately 850,000 square feet of building space in 12 district buildings and provides expertise in every aspect of building management and maintenance for all schools and buildings. The maintenance department employes workers who are licensed electricians, plumbers, HVAC, pool personnel as well as groundskeepers, carpenters and general tradesmen. To ensure reliability, efficiency and adequacy in all buildings maintenance and operations, we track repair work from initiation to completion, constantly monitoring and assessing quality and cost, through an online work order system.
The department takes great pride in its ability to maintain the district's new and renovated facilities as well as buildings that are more than 60 years old and consistently looks for ways to be fiscally responsible for all Upper Arlington School buildings and grounds.

Custodial Services
The Upper Arlington Schools Custodial Services Department is dedicated to providing an inviting, clean, healthy and safe environment for students, staff, families and the community. A high level of customer service, excellent care and quality workmanship are at the forefront of our daily goals.
Custodial services are provided at all educational and support facilities throughout the school district. Each school is assigned a custodial team responsible for cleaning and upkeep at that facility. In addition, school custodians also assist with the set-up, tear-down and clean-up after various facility uses by school groups and outside users.
