School board weighs outsourcing janitors
Placeholder Image
IN BRIEF: The Board of Education weighed new budget options Thursday that would either outsource janitorial services altogether (option 1) or outsource through attrition (option 2), replacing janitorial staff as they left with employees of an outsourced company. Cabinet staff recommended the board go with option 1. Chief Financial Officer Lee Davis said the company that had produced the most competative bid for janitorial outsourcing, GCP, had agreed to keep all janitorial employees who pass background checks/drug tests and to continue paying them at the same rate.
