The mission of Maintenance and Facility Services (MFS) is to support learning by maintaining the physical environment to promote student achievement. The MFS team prioritizes work for campuses in most need of support. HPC and ACE campuses will receive special consideration on maintenance work orders, although emergency work orders are always processed first.

In addition, Community Resource Index (CRI) data is used to identify priority for bond construction and renovation. CRI quantifies the community resources, such as grocery stores and doctor's offices, that surround each Dallas ISD school.

For more information, contact Miriam Gaytan at mgaytan@dallasisd.org.

Through the Theory of Action Autonomies, Maintenance and Facilities currently provides the installation of graphics on a wall to campuses that have earned a rating of Accomplished or Breakthrough.

The size and additions to the graphic will be dependent on the campus’ LAS rating.
