Mission CISD painter Jorge Gavis describes career path, crew size and workload
Summary
Jorge Gavis, a painter at Mission CISD, recounted his career progression from custodian to painter and said the maintenance painting crew includes five painters serving 22 schools across seven buildings; his remarks were part of a brief public comment and no formal action followed.
Jorge Gavis, a painter at Mission CISD, told the meeting he began working for the district in 2014 and described moving through several maintenance roles before joining the painting crew. "My name is Jorge Gavis. I'm a painter here at Mission CD and I'm behind the mission," he said.
Gavis said he started as a custodian, became a crew leader and later sought a carpenter position but was told he lacked experience. After working outside the district in electrical and insulation jobs, he took a plant operator role at Mission High School for several months and then applied for and obtained the painter position.
He said the district painting crew currently has five painters and covers a large portfolio. According to Gavis, "we have five painters. Uh there's 22 schools, seven buildings around there," which he presented as evidence of substantial ongoing work for the maintenance team.
Gavis emphasized his enjoyment of the work and the team environment. "I love to work here. It's really fun. We're laughing the whole time getting the job done," he said. His remarks were delivered as a brief personal account during the meeting; no votes, motions or formal district decisions were recorded in connection with his comments.
The meeting record does not include independent verification of staff counts or workload estimates; those figures were reported by Gavis and not confirmed during the session.
