The Custodian Foreman classification performs routine custodial, maintenance, cleaning, and grounds‑keeping tasks in school buildings and grounds to maintain a clean, sanitary, and safe environment. Additionally, an employee in this class may be assigned to other maintenance duties in District facilities. The Custodian Foreman classification is differentiated from the Custodian classification based on the primary working hours; the higher frequency of setting up and breaking down for public meetings and events using school facilities in the evenings;

more frequent contact with the general public attending events; and additional emphasis on after‑hours building security. Additionally, the Custodian Foreman frequently works independently, without direct supervision from the Head Custodian. The primary duties of this class are performed in a public school building environment and include use of electrically powered cleaning equipment and cleaning substances that may involve related hazards and outdoor work in inclement weather conditions.
