In Building Maintenance, the students are being taught the skills necessary for safe building maintenance.  The students are currently demonstrating various custodial duties, cleaning the lunchroom after students are finished with lunch, setting up tables and chairs for various meetings and conferences for staff, fixing minor repairs such as chairs and custodial equipment.  In the spring when the weather is better we we’ll be working in the courtyard doing various landscaping skills (raking, lawn mowing, and planting various flowers).  Special emphasis is placed on learning the skills necessary to find a job in the community related to building maintenance
