Work Orders
Emergency Repairs
Services provided in emergencies extends to problems which effect life, health, safety, will cause severe damage to a building, or effect the schools ability to perform its educational mission (water main breaks, major electrical power failures, broken handrails along stairs, inability to secure the building, etc). Campuses should call the Operations office if they have an emergency during the school day or the maintenance supervisor if they have an emergency after hours.
Routine Repairs
Service is provided as soon as it can be scheduled for routine problems. These include interior door problems, shelf installation, drinking fountains, etc. We strive to keep all requests as free of red tape as possible. While emergencies and urgent requests may be phoned in by a campus administrators, we ask that all routine requests be submitted through Maintenance Direct, our online work order system.
Once a work order is submitted by an educator it is forwarded to the campus principal or her designee. Once a work order has been approved by the campus, it is submitted to the maintenance department. Once received by maintenance, work orders are assigned a priority (emergency, urgent, or routine). Emergency and urgent request are dispatched to maintenance personnel immediately. The target for completing routine service is three work days.
It should be noted that backlogs are inevitable. There may be several weeks delay in some instances. Depending upon the nature of the work and what is required in the way of planning (drawings, permits, scheduling, securing material, etc) scheduling may have to wait until preliminary work is completed. You can track the status of your work order in Maintenance Direct.
