001Hi, I'm Brad Sarin, superintendent of the Sun Prairie Area School District. Here with our director of facilities and grounds, Pete Warrick, to present to the board of education and our community the operational expectations on facilities and grounds. Remember, the operational expectation is where the board proactively communicates to the administrative team its expectations on what we have to be compliant with for facilities and grounds across our 15 campuses. We are here to present this report as incompliant to the board of education of all 22 targets for compliance. We are compliant uh with uh artifacts uh of compliance for all 22 areas. These include master planning processes uh maintenance schedules and also our compliance with facilities use. And so from here I'm going to turn it over to Pete to begin a more detailed uh overview of
002this monitoring report. Pete. >> Hello. My name is Pete Warick and I am the director of facilities and grounds for the Sun Prairie Area School District. I would like to give you the status of compliance for OE12 facilities and grounds. Operational expectation 12 is in compliance. The product of our planning process is a 10-year capital improvement and maintenance plan. This document is our guide for forecasting district needs and creating a budget that meets these needs. Any project that exceeds a value of $250,000 must gain board approval. All 22 measures of OE12 are in compliance. Communication and collaboration with building administrators through the rounding process is paramount. Rounding with administrators aids the department to determine and prioritize capital improvement needs. Also, it is important for us to utilize surveying tools from staff and parent caregiver input
003to assess our progress and discover areas of improvement. The expectation of our custodial maintenance and grounds departments is that facilities will be clean, well-maintained, and welcoming to our students, staff, and community members. We have areas of focus for continuous improvement. We have updated OE12 this past spring and we will have new measures to report next year. A customer service mindset is an area we continue to improve and to learn. We will continue to care for the needs of the students and staff and strive to meet their satisfaction. We will finalize the district equity tool and establish priorities for construction, renovation, and capital improvement projects beginning with the 2026 2027 school year. I want to take some time to thank our facilities and ground staff for all they do for the district. We have a wonderful
004staff that includes environmental services, maintenance, energy and sustainability, facility liaison, shipping and receiving, grounds, pools, and performing arts centers. Our staff is invaluable to the district and performs well, making sure to provide clean, healthy, safe, and well-maintained physical environments for every student, staff, and community member every day. I hope this presentation was informative and to the point. You will find a summary of compliance status and a summary of all 22 measures in your board packet. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at my email address or phone number. Thank you for your time and all you do for the Sun Prairie Area School District. Have a great day.
