Administration of Maintenance and Operations in California School Districts: A Handbook for School Administrators and Governing Boards.
California State Dept. of Education, Sacramento.
This handbook provides information that administrators of maintenance and operations in California schools can use in systematically planning and scheduling school facility support services. The first unit, chapter 1, is designed to help members of school district governing boards establish board policies, regulations, and procedures. Topics covered include facility management, facility standards, personnel policies, selection of equipment and supplies, facility design, and site utilization. The second unit, chapter 2, outlines current practices in the field so that the director of maintenance and operations will be able to implement the policies of the governing board. Topics include the design and implementation of an organizational plan, personnel management, budget preparation, acquisitions, monitoring facilities, and evaluating the maintenance and operations program. The third unit, chapters 3 and 4, describes the functions of maintenance and operations, and suggests organizational procedures that should lead to programmed budgeting, systematic management, and efficient use of personnel. School maintenance is also discussed in the context of inflation, declining enrollments, reduced revenues, and competing budget priorities. The fourth unit, chapter 5, discusses the use of school facilities, energy management, control of hazardous materials, pest control, school security, and access for the handicapped. Appended are excerpts from selected legal references, time schedules for custodial tasks, and evaluation questions for a district's custodial program. (TE)
