The Concord School District has over 1 million square feet of buildings, which sit on 180 acres of land. Our staff includes: Matt Cashman, Director of Facilities and Planning, Denise Stevens, Administrative Assistant, and a team of 5 qualified specialist personnel. Our team also consists of 7 Head Custodians, and 29 full-time and 4 part-time custodians who serve our 7 schools. Our goal is to keep all our buildings at the highest levels of operation, maintenance, safety and cleanliness for all students and staff.
We continue to seek new ways to keep our schools clean. We have streamlined our “green cleaning” chemicals to 5 different solvents. Our vendor now manages our cleaning and supply inventory, allowing us to keep smaller, more manageable inventory levels. This has reduced the amount of old stock and old inventory that used to take up valuable storage space. This move has also reduced our waste. We stay current with equipment, allowing our custodial staff to utilize the newest technology.
In 2018-2019, we completed a new security project funded by a grant from the state. Upgrades included:
- Security cameras, interior and exterior
- Intrusion alarms
- Card access system
- Visitor management system
In the summer of 2019, we upgraded all Broken Ground and Concord High roofing. The following is a list of upgrades completed over summer 2019:
- Interior painting district-wide
- Various flooring upgrades, including rubber surfacing, carpet and VCT tile
- BMS: school-wide lighting conversion to LED lights
All buildings are temperature-controlled through our common building automation system.
