EFFICIENCY, SAFETY & FUNCTIONALITY

Custodial Evaluations

These evaluations establish a clear baseline of your district’s custodial services, identify strengths, gaps, and improvement opportunities, and underscore their vital role in promoting health, safety, and academic success through a well-maintained learning environment.

WHAT IS A CUSTODIAL EVALUATION?

The custodial evaluation represents a dedicated effort to thoroughly review and assess the performance and impact of your custodial department.

Recognizing the essential role custodial staff play in maintaining the cleanliness, safety, and functionality of your educational facilities, this evaluation combines a multifaceted approach to providing a detailed analysis of the current state of custodial services within the district. Using both quantitative data and qualitative observations, this evaluation establishes a clear baseline for the district’s custodial operations, identifying strengths, gaps, and opportunities for improvement. 

Custodial services are not merely about routine cleaning tasks such as sweeping, mopping, or organizing spaces. They are integral to create an environment where education thrives and where students, staff, and the community feel inspired, safe, and valued. A clean, well-maintained school environment directly impacts physical health, mental well-being, and academic productivity. Custodial staff, through their efforts, contribute to reducing absenteeism, enhancing pride in the facilities, and encouraging community involvement. This evaluation underscores the importance of recognizing and supporting custodial services as a core element of fostering an optimal learning environment.
