Taking Care of Business

The mere thought of the responsibilities included in one day in the life of a LaSalle Parish school custodian, janitor or maid would fatigue many.

The average custodian is expected to clean and care for approximately 11,000 plus square feet in an average day. Add the people population of any school and the ratio of custodians on a campus to other school personnel is staggering. It’s a job description that takes a special man or woman to fill.
