Custodian Retention & Growth
Thursday, November 6 | 11:00am - 12:00pm CST
Presented by Dr. Charles Ogdan, Director of Secondary Teaching & Learn with Forest Hills School District.
This project attempts to peel back several layers of our school district in regards to custodian retention & growth. In the 2025-2026 school year 53% of our custodial staff is within 0-5 years of experience with our most experienced custodians preparing for retirement. How can we increase custodian retention and tap into their skill sets in an effort to grow our current custodian staff into head custodians in an effort to replace the years of experience and knowledge base preparing for retirement.

Participants will gain practical strategies for aligning technology with district strategic goals, building internal capacity, and fostering a culture of adaptability and continuous improvement.
