Community Spotlight: School custodians of Door and Kewaunee counties

Behind every clean school in Door and Kewaunee counties, you will find a team of custodians that helped make it happen.

 

School districts across the state received millions of dollars to help make their buildings a safer place to learn and had to adjust with additional supplies and more advanced cleaning protocols. Some districts have relied on them for other duties such as cafeteria help or bus drivers just to cover some of their other staffing shortages.

 

Sturgeon Bay School District recently shined the spotlight on its own maintenance team at a recent school board meeting. In addition to the extra cleaning needed because of the pandemic, the crew had to also navigate a summer full of construction projects at all of their buildings. Business manager Jake Holtz says their maintenance team is humble despite all of the extra duties they took on during 20 months of uncertainty.

Over 50 people at the public school districts in Door and Kewaunee counties are tasked with maintenance or custodial duties. There are several others providing the same duties at the area's private schools.
