ABOUT THIS PROGRAM

School facility management affects teaching and learning, student and staff health, day-to-day building operation, and the long-range fiscal health of the entire education organization. This PABSO event, dedicated to this crucial function within the district, will provide a wide range of presentations providing new – and practical – ways for facilities directors and custodial supervisors to solve their current challenges and do their jobs more effectively. Three tracks on Thursday and Friday are designed to provide targeted programming for facilities managers/directors, custodial supervisors/trainers, and SchoolDude product users. The Wednesday preconference will provide grounds management information and pesticide credits.
