The 吃瓜黑料网 (吃瓜黑料网) publishes the work orders for its 582 吃瓜黑料网 school buildings on an annual basis consistent with its commitment to increase transparency and accountability. It also aligns with the 吃瓜黑料网鈥檚 Open Data initiative aimed to implement an online platform where the public can access published Board data. The data corresponds to the 2017-2018 school year.
Repairs needed at schools can range from a loose tile to a broken door or gas leak. The head caretaker is responsible for reporting these repairs. This is done by creating a notification with information on the repair in an internal tracking system used by our Facility Services Department. 听
A Facilities team leader receives the notification from the system, reviews and approves it, and sends the notification to a Maintenance team leader who assigns and schedules the repair by generating a work order. Repairs are prioritized based on their potential impact on the health and safety of students and staff as well as the normal operation of the school. 听
