The High Cost of Low Maintenance

Consequences of Lack of Funding:

  • Outdated technology and equipment
  • Less new construction
  • More expansions = larger schools
  • Phased construction
  • Relocatables
  • Redistricting of attendance zones
  • Reduction in staff
  • Deferred maintenance
  • Less frequent replacement programs
  • Reduction in school visits by Preventative Maintenance Teams
  • Less maintenance dollars available to schools
  • Increased burden on Maintenance Managers
  • More work orders in response to building or system failure
