Our staff is responsible for the planning and implementation of all maintenance projects throughout the district.

It is important that students, teachers, support staff, parents, and community members want to come to our schools. That is why we work to ensure that the Taft City School District is kept to a standard level of care that provides an environment that is safe, comfortable, and conducive to learning. A safe and comfortable school communicates a message to students and teachers that they are respected and special individuals; and that education is a critical component of our society.

Our maintenance and repair responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

• Alarm Systems
• Carpentry
• Concrete
• Construction
• Electrical
• Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC)
• Keys/Locks
• Masonry
