The Maintenance Department of the Gilchrist County School System is comprised of seven full-time positions and a secretarial position that is shared with the Transportation Department. The Director of Operations oversees the day-to-day operations of the department and reports to the Superintendent.

The Department handles all of the work orders from all five campuses, preventative maintenance schedules, inspections, grounds, athletic facilities, any set-ups for special activities and is directly involved in any new or remodeling construction projects. The five campuses are spread out over approximately 209 acres consisting of approximately 70 buildings and totaling over 735,000 square feet of building space. The majority of the occupied space is conditioned by using chilled water loops that are controlled by computerized energy management systems which provide for conserving energy costs. The buildings that are not computer controlled are equipped with timing devices to minimize energy waste.
