The Maintenance department of the Anchorage School District is composed of approximately 130 skilled craftspeople in 17 different trades. Together, we are responsible for 100 facilities totaling 8,000,000 square feet and 1700 acres of land. Our goal is to professionally maintain the facilities and grounds during the day-to-day operations. We strive to provide the highest quality of service to our schools, community, and our students. 

Craft Shops within the Maintenance Department:

Automation, Carpentry, Electrical, Electronics, Fire & Security, Fire Extinguishers, Glass, HVAC, Lock & Key, Mechanical, Paint, Plumbing, Roofing, Vehicle Maintenance

The Operations department provides, on a day-to-day basis, services for cleaning and security for schools and other district facilities. We are a dynamic department that uses high productivity technology to clean more square footage today with reduced personnel.  We have worked hard to develop a pest control system that conforms to a highly regulated environment and an integrated waste management plan, that includes district-wide mixed-paper recycling, to divert hundreds of tons of waste from the landfill and save the department money.

Operations department goals:

• We clean for sanitation first, appearance second.
• We try to fully meet the demands and expectations of our customers.
• We continuously strive to improve our value to the District by improving service and reducing problems, errors and waste in the process.
