Maintenance & Operations

From cleaning classrooms to performing skilled maintenance work, classified employees ensure that our schools are safe and comfortable places for students to learn.

Keeping up a school is not like maintaining a commercial property —it takes everyday experts who understand the unique needs of our schools and what it takes to keep them running smoothly. Custodians keep the classrooms and restrooms clean. Grounds- keepers keep grass areas safe for sports and other recreational activities. Skilled maintenance workers troubleshoot problems in school buildings and proactively ensure that facilities function properly.

CSEA owes its heritage to a small group of custodians who fought for pension benefits in 1927. Over time, CSEA has grown larger and stronger by adding different classifications, but we still haven’t lost touch with the needs and concerns of custodians and other caretakers of our school facilities.
