Austin ISD proudly recognizes Custodian and Maintenance Appreciation Week, Sept. 29–Oct. 3. 

From spotless floors to roof repairs, AISD custodial and maintenance staff work hard to keep our facilities clean and safe. Day in and day out, they arrive early and stay late to make sure that AISD is a great place to learn, teach and work. They are a crucial part of the AISD family.

The next time you see a custodian or maintenance worker on an AISD campus or facility, let them know how much you appreciate their hard work.
