Board authorizes RFP process to pursue contracted evening cleaning services
Summary
Facing staffing shortages in custodial positions, the board approved staff’s request to seek proposals for contracted evening cleaning services for the middle and high schools and asked staff to verify background-check and insurance requirements before posting the RFP.
The superintendent told the board the district has been unable to fully staff custodial positions and asked board approval to pursue an RFP for contracted evening cleaning services to provide a reliable cleaning crew 3–5 days per week.
Board members discussed costs and accountability; one member observed the gym was unusually messy after a recent event and another estimated the cost equivalent of two full-time employees at about $9,500 a month. The chair moved to authorize the RFP process, the motion was seconded, and the board voted to proceed. The superintendent said staff will verify legal and insurance requirements and consult legal counsel on background-check expectations for outside contractors.
