Serving as the backbone of daily operations, the Maintenance and Operations Department integrates several essential functions across the District. These include Maintenance, Grounds, Custodial, Warehouse Distribution, Safety, and Security—each essential to fostering a secure and supportive environment for students, staff, and the community.
Our mission is to ensure safe, clean, and efficient learning environments by proactively maintaining and enhancing district facilities, supporting the educational mission, and fostering a healthy, sustainable community for students, staff, and families.
Maintenance
Responsible for managing over 975,000 square feet of building space, the Maintenance team oversees HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning), electrical, plumbing, locksmith services, fire protection, facility security, roofing, general repairs, and capital projects. Ensuring facilities meet or exceed state standards is the department’s top priority.
Grounds
The Grounds team cares for over 230 acres of athletic fields and landscapes, including the athletic complex at Mount Si High School. In addition to maintaining playgrounds, irrigation systems, and stormwater detention and retention, they uphold the District’s Integrated Pest Management (IPM) plan, recognized by the Washington Toxic Coalition, with records available at the Maintenance and Operations office.
Custodial
With a focus on cleanliness and health, the Custodial team maintains 975,00 square feet of building space for over 7,000 students. Known for their teamwork with school staff and students, custodians play an essential role in daily school operations.
Warehouse
Supporting the District with a 7,000-square-foot warehouse, this team distributes office, cleaning, and technology supplies daily. It also supports Food Services by delivering commodities and frozen foods to school kitchens each week and assists with special events by transporting necessary supplies and equipment.
