Operations includes buildings, grounds, custodial, and maintenance departments. The mission statement for the Arbor Park School District 145 Custodial and Maintenance Services Department is to provide a safe, comfortable, and clean environment for students to learn and staff to work, as well as protecting district assets by maintaining our facilities in their most original condition, while continuing to improve the facilities functional abilities tin order to keep up with the always changing needs of the community and school district staff. Our Operations team is certified in Six Sigma 5S Organization Methods in order to reduce/control costs, maintain cleanliness, and have structure in the department. Our Leadership team is certified in Six Sigma with their Yellow Belt, which verifies their training to ensure a 5S House! All custodians annually complete their OSHA, 5S, and chemical trainings in order to stay fresh and up to date.
