Work Schedule

Custodial work hours could exceed a normal 40-hour workweek. This may include extended hours throughout the week or additional hours on the weekend.

In additional to our normal custodial staff, Wednesdays will potentially include the participation of bus drivers and kitchen staff. A set schedule will be provided to these additional staff, and they will work their normal amount of daily hours. These employees will be involved in disinfecting of the buildings under the guidance of custodians and Buildings and Grounds Supervisor.
