The key to the success of the Department of Maintenance is the dedication and commitment of a highly trained and capable staff, coupled with predictive planning, technology, and process. Each tradesman has a primary area of responsibility with complementing skill sets. The tradespersons are encouraged to assist other tradespersons outside of their primary area of responsibility to broaden their skill knowledge. Well-rounded maintenance technicians promote a philosophy of teamwork, ever expanding their trade knowledge. These perspectives assist in promoting the commitment to exceptional customer service. By many different measures, the quality of maintenance at SMCPS is high. The escalating sophistication of the physical plant and ever increasing equipment inventories have placed greater demands on manpower requirements (workloads), educational needs, and the skill level of the maintenance staff. Skill enhancements and cross-training of personnel have become essential components for meeting high expectations of both quantity and quality of work performed. In past years, the structure of the Department of Maintenance has continually been reviewed as part of a strategic plan by the Director of Maintenance. One of the primary goals for the organizational changes is to maintain and improve customer service and workload leveling in the maintenance areas. As a precursor to meeting critical staffing shortages and minimization of the associated difficulties of coordinating work, organizational changes were adapted to promote department efficiency in using all resources. Currently, attention is being focused to a facet occurring within the department because of increasing requirements for third party inspections and sophisticated or proprietary systems being installed. This is increasing the need for contracted services. With this in mind, we have increased the responsibility level of our s to help with the day-to-day management of contractors and help in the initial contract scope of work development. After the completion of Captain Walter Francis Duke Elementary School in 2015, and considering that no new personnel have been added to the Department of Maintenance since 2005 when the school systems square footage was approximately 464,000 sq. ft. less, the Department of Maintenance will be requesting (2) two additional FTE s to support the increased maintenance efforts of the school system over the past decade. 17
