Facilities & Maintenance is at the epicenter of operations of the Birmingham City Schools system. The department ensures that the system is able to realize its vision and accomplish its mission by consistently ensuring that the system's physical facilities and grounds are maintained to a high standard of operational excellence, cleanliness, and safety. Several departments, working cooperatively and independently, ensure the maintenance of grounds, facilities, physical aesthetics, levels of comfort, purchase and upkeep of certain small equipment, transfer of furniture and other commodities between facilities and other related educational activities.
