Maintenance

These Directives are for Maintenance & Facilities that include the following Departments:
Grounds, HVAC, Custodial, Electrical, Plumbing, Playground, and Carpentry.
The following description is to be used for guidelines to clarify policy and job expectations in order to fit the needs of the departments. Each employee is responsible for adhering to all District policies, directives and procedures

Maintenance and Facilities Services Mission:

Our goal is to provide all students, staff and visitors with a clean, safe and comfortable environment, conducive to the educational process. We will succeed in achieving this goal through the sound management of resources, efficient work practices, open communications and the dedication of our employees.

Compliance of Departmental Directives:

These directives are departmental guidelines and are not intended to replace but to supplement any Hampton County School District Policies for the day-to-day management of the maintenance and custodial departments. Any employee who does not comply with these directives is subject to disciplinary action.

Reporting of Vandalism or Theft:

Maintenance and custodial employees must report all acts of vandalism to their immediate supervisor as soon as the vandalism has been noticed. This should occur on the same day of the
incident. A vandalism report must be completed by the supervisor along with notifying the police and acquiring a police service report number. Employees shall not leave unsecured tools, equipment or other valuable items of any kind in vehicles overnight, during lunch, or any time a vehicle is left unattended. Employees shall secure all tools nightly or place in assigned locations.

Work Order Documentation:

All work that is performed on any campus must be done through a work order with proper documentation. All maintenance work must be identified through the work order Tracking System. Emergencies that occur at any campus must be followed up by a work order whether during or after normal working hours. If work is being performed at a school and the school
requests extra work and it can be accomplished in a reasonable time  frame, an additional work order will be initiated. We want to emphasize “Good Customer Service” to each campus by
being courteous, friendly, helpful, neat, and efficient. Work orders must be properly filled out, including but not limited to materials and labor, and turned in for approval by supervisor the day of completion.

We want to be effective and provide service in a timely manner. We are here to help you by fixing maintenance needs and keeping the schools and school grounds clean and presentable.

Please follow the work order system and abide by the district policies and procedures. If there are any questions or concerns during any time, please contact the maintenance director.
