"Committed to Student Success"
East Detroit Public Schools' Maintenance and Operations' Department is committed to providing an exceptional learning environment for our lifelong learners. Our primary goal is to clean and maintain 700,000 square feet of instructional space and care for 86 acres of turf and 12 acres of parking lots and sidewalks. In addition we are responsible for surveillance, electronic door access, staff identification, utility consumption monitoring, HVAC, electrical and plumbing systems, integrated pest management, waste management, indoor air quality and building security/fire alarm monitoring. Whether through preventative maintenance, lighting upgrades, or greener-cleaner methods of custodial stewardship, we are committed to improving student retention and decreasing absences through all that we do.
Transportation
Our department, in partnership with METS, is responsible for the safe and efficient transportation of 1,634 students to and from school in addition to athletic runs and field trips. We constantly strive to improve service under the direction of our Transportation Committee, which is comprised of the transportation director, two board members, school principals and METS' management. New students are generally routed within a day of enrolling by filling out a transportation request form (available at each school and at the administration building).
We look forward to serving our students. If you have any problems or concerns, please contact us at 586-533-3970 or by filling out the comments form. With specific bus problems (such as buses running late), please contact METS at 586-533-3815. |
