Contracted custodial team reports higher cleanliness scores and outlines summer deep‑clean plan
Summary
The Bud Group reported improved weekly principal report‑card scores for custodial services and described a summer plan for district‑wide deep cleaning, restroom pressure washing, and targeted staffing; the contractor said recruiting and a shared HR team helped reduce open positions.
Representatives from the Bud Group updated trustees on custodial performance since December, saying weekly principal report cards and added shared recruiting resources have improved measured cleanliness scores (from roughly 6.4 to 7.9 on the contractor’s scale). The contractor said recruiting capacity increased through a shared‑services recruiting team that processed nearly 595 applicants over five months and that the account now has only a small number of open positions.
Bud Group managers described a district‑wide summer plan to strip and restore floors, pressure‑wash restrooms and perform high‑dust cleaning across 18 schools (about three‑quarters of a million square feet). The contractor said the work will be scheduled around summer‑school programs, meal service and camps so that deep cleaning can occur where and when students are not on site.
Trustees asked about the hardest‑to‑staff schools, advertising methods, the role of automation and whether the summer timeline is realistic. Bud Group representatives said the recruiting pipeline and deployment plan are intended to create bench depth and that mechanized scrubbers and other tools will supplement staffing to maintain consistent cleanliness.
