Operational Services
The Sioux Falls School District currently owns and operates 41 sites, including Southeast Technical College. The District manages 47 facilities encompassing 5,160,00 + square feet of floor space and approximately 600 acres of land.
This department provides centralized custodial and maintenance services for all District facilities. Responsibilities include training, supervising, and coordinating custodial and maintenance staff, as well as managing budgets for utilities, facility operations supplies, and maintenance repairs.
The team also coordinates, schedules, and oversees all District construction and renovation projects. Employees are on duty throughout the school year seven days a week, with coverage available up to 24 hours a day to support the needs of students, staff, and facilities.
Operational Services is responsible for keeping District facilities safe, functional, and well-maintained so students and staff can focus on learning. Through a coordinated team of administrative, custodial, maintenance, and support personnel, the department provides daily care for buildings, grounds, and infrastructure across the District.
Custodial staff work throughout the District to maintain clean, safe, and welcoming learning environments while also providing grounds maintenance services. Maintenance personnel perform preventive and corrective repairs on building systems, equipment, fixtures, and facilities, helping to ensure that schools remain operational year-round. Their work includes everything from routine maintenance and minor remodeling projects to emergency repairs, landscaping, and snow and ice removal.
In addition to facility operations, the department supports District logistics through warehouse, delivery, and inter-office mail services. By coordinating these essential services, Operational Services helps ensure that schools have the resources, materials, and support needed to serve students and staff effectively every day.
