Schools Propose Dedicated Maintenance Supervisor to Oversee Capital Projects
Summary
Shenandoah County school leadership asked for a maintenance-supervisor position to provide 'boots on the ground' oversight of major capital projects and to centralize grant identification; the role would include weekend work and on-site project monitoring.
Dr. Sheppard described a proposed maintenance-supervisor role to oversee major capital projects from planning through completion, with responsibilities tied to on-site monitoring, quality control, and coordinating schedules so multi-day work (for cost efficiency) can be completed without repeated partial closures.
Chairman Tim Taylor asked whether the position would also handle securing grants; Dr. Sheppard said grants are currently identified by several people and a dedicated role could help centralize that work. Supervisor David Ferguson asked about required credentials and whether the person would work weekends; Dr. Sheppard said the position would be able to work weekends and monitor projects at all phases.
