Facilities

  • The ACPS Department of Facilities and Operations oversees everything to do with our school buildings. We manage modernization projects, brand new construction projects, maintenance and cleaning. Additionally, we oversee the feeding and transporting of students while keeping both students and ACPS safe and secure. 

    Our mission is to provide an optimal and equitable learning environment for all students.
