Maintenance Department
The maintenance department is responsible for the daily operation, maintenance repair of all the physical plants listed on the preceding pages. This includes the high school complex, the intermediate school, seven elementary schools, the warehouse and Davis Field. The maintenance men deal with the facets of the building: structural, electrical, plumbing, heating, air conditioning, refrigeration, temperature controls, snow removal, grass cutting, and other grounds detail work as required. This work is accomplished by four full time maintenance men and very little help from outside contractors in these fields. One of these maintenance men, Dan Schirato, is almost always assigned full time to the high school. The other three men: Jim Culp, Albert Kulick, and Gino Rossi are as needed at the high school and handle all the other sites also. All the activities are coordinated out of the warehouse at 200 Poplar Street, Vandergrift. All incoming phone calls and work orders from the buildings and all dispatching by radio to the crews are handled by Nan Briscoe, warehouse secretary. There is a Honeywell Graphic Central and Tac computer system at the warehouse that constantly receives data from the buildings on environmental conditions in the classrooms. Another function of the warehouse is that all mail, UPS deliveries, and all supplies such as food, teaching supplies, custodial supplies, and special area supplies and equipment are received, inventoried, controlled, and distributed from there. Mr. Dan Ash, along with Nan Briscoe are responsible for these duties. A fleet of seven trucks and numerous large and small pieces of grounds keeping equipment are maintained out of the warehouse to perform the maintenance work and make the needed deliveries.
