The United Independent School District Maintenance and Operations Department is comprised of 135 employees, highly trained, skilled and licensed professionals that are specialized in their fields, dedicated to providing the best learning environment for the children that attend our school district. We maintain 52 schools, 188 portable buildings and 17 student support office buildings for a total of 6,637,844 square feet and growing. We work closely with city, state and federal agencies to make sure all building guidelines are met.

We maintain a web-based work order system to expedite repairs and track preventive maintenance; while at the same time cutting down of paper waste. This system provides valuable information in identifying problem areas, equipment failure rate, and aids in budgeting.

We also keep a warehouse, independent of the districts supply warehouse, of parts and material specific to our department. This warehouse inventory is linked to our work order system. It provides checks and balance for our materials and tracks costs per work order.

Goals

Our goal is to provide 100% building functionality so that its occupants can accomplish their respective tasks in a safe and comfortable environment.
