Maintenance and Operations

Maintenance and Operations is behind every classroom at RUSD. The group is also behind the 62,000 light fixtures and 5,300 doors throughout the district. We care for 48 schools that comprise over 3.5 million square feet of facilities on 500 acres of land in a district spread over 120 square miles. Maintenance and Operations understands that we're not just about nuts and bolts, or lawns, or motors, we're about making sure there's great light to read by, that the digital projector for the laptop works, that the copies of the grant application look great, and that the school sidewalks are safe. Our driving commitment is to serve the students, teachers, and administrators of the District in a manner that benefits education in the classroom.

We process more than 30,000 work orders per year through a state of the art system that is allowing us to converge every piece of equipment and every facility into a single data base. That database means we can set priorities about how we manage the District's assets in an ever more efficient and paperless environment. Today, we are moving toward a system that will allow us to see the entire maintenance and lifecycle history of all our resources and make the best decisions about repair, maintenance and replacement. Not only does it mean we arrive on site with the right parts on the truck, we know when we arrive if we can combine the service call with preventive maintenance activity to save money and resources for our students.

We have a passion for education and our products are the kindergarteners who learn to get along with each other on a playground that is safe and fun, and the teachers who are freed up to focus on classroom instruction instead of making the copier work.
