Staff GuidelinesThe Custodial Department utilizes the APPA Custodial Staffing Guidelines for Educational Facilities. The expected standards and levels of custodial services provided to the college campus can be determined by identifying the following:
The number of square feet assigned to each custodian by standard space will determine the level of service provided to that space. The lower the amount of cleaning square foot per custodian, the level of the cleaning quality will be higher. For example, a custodian with 420 minutes per shift assigned a space of 16,700 square feet of classroom with hard floor will provide a higher level of service than a custodian assigned 45,600 square feet.

The Custodial Department utilizes the APPA Custodial Staffing Guidelines for Educational Facilities, the expected standards and levels of custodial services provided to the college campus can be determined by identifying the number and type of standard spaces (classrooms, offices, etc.) on campus, the square footage for each standard space, the amount of time required for each standard space, the number of employees available and the productive work time available. The number of square feet assigned to each custodian by standard space will determine the level of service provided to that space.
