Failure to complete projects on a timely basis may impact the educational program. The class Grounds/Construction Supervisor is distinguished from the class of Grounds/ Construction Worker in that while the latter performs semi-skilled construction duties, they do not have formal supervisory responsibilities for the construction and grounds crew.
