“I’m in the computer Web programming class. We’re just getting into it. I’m probably going to learn Flash Animation or JavaScript, which is a programming language. The good thing is you choose what you want to learn. We work together as students. If someone needs help and someone else has knowledge to do it, we help each other.”

At a recent school board meeting, maintenance and operations director Gary Jefferis ran over some of the numbers:
* 12.5 miles of fences inspected and repaired.
* 16 acres of flower beds maintained.
* 200 acres of play fields mowed each week.
* 700 gallons of paint used to stripe parking lots and restore school walls inside and out.
* 34,000 lock cores replaced for a security project funded by voter-approved bond dollars.
* 1.2 million square feet of hard flooring cleaned.
* 2.7 million square feet of roofs inspected for potential leaks.
The work was done by 125 maintenance and custodial staff who completed more than 7,000 work orders.
