Districtwide Team Development · Week of April 18, 2026

Districtwide custodial training

During the week of April 18, 2026, I trained custodial employees from all five SRJC sites on equipment safety, proper use and care, closet organization, and districtwide cleaning expectations. The program paired a nine-slide presentation I created with demonstrations and supervised hands-on practice.

District reach

Delivered the same core expectations across all five sites so employees received consistent direction.

Training design

Created presentation materials using photographs of actual equipment and closets, then reinforced the content with demonstrations and supervised practice.

Topics covered

Equipment inspection and care, PPE, safe storage, work-order reporting, chemical review, closet standards, and cleaning expectations.

Safety Improvement · Tauzer Gym Showers

Custom shower matting installation

Installed specialized matting in the Tauzer Gym shower areas at Santa Rosa Junior College to improve traction and hygiene while preserving smooth doorway operation and access.

Safety need

Wet shower and changing areas in Tauzer Gym required a durable surface designed to reduce slip risk.

Product selection

Selected antibacterial, slip-resistant matting with a low-profile design that fits beneath existing doorway clearances.

Installation approach

Measured, cut, and fitted the material to each space so coverage, drainage, and door movement could work together.

Hygiene Standardization · Five Locations

PURELL dispenser rollout

Coordinated the installation of PURELL hand-hygiene dispensers across all five SRJC locations, creating a more consistent restroom standard throughout the district.

District scope

Expanded the dispenser standard across Santa Rosa, Petaluma, Roseland, PSTC, and Shone Farm.

Leadership approach

Coordinated placement and installation so dispensers were positioned consistently and conveniently near handwashing areas.

Operational value

A common dispenser platform supports clearer stocking expectations, easier servicing, and a consistent campus experience.

Districtwide Safety & Standardization · Five Locations · Work in Progress

Closet organization & chemical cleanup

This districtwide work remains in progress as we continue evaluating products, organizing additional stock, and refining storage standards across SRJC's five locations. The goal is to remove obsolete, unnecessary, or redundant products while maintaining adequate, well-organized supplies for reliable daily service.

Challenge

Clutter, duplicate or excess supplies, aging or unused chemicals, and inconsistent layouts reduced visibility and safe access.

Progress to date

Reviewed stock with employees, documented at least 15 product containers for evaluation, gathered materials for authorized handling and removal, and began organizing daily-use materials by function.

Continuing work

Evaluate remaining products, organize additional stock, confirm adequate supply levels, and build more consistent districtwide storage and replenishment practices.

Cost Control & Safety · Five Locations · Work in Progress

Districtwide supply, inventory & cost-control system

Developed a centralized annual tracking system after identifying inconsistent purchasing practices distributed across eight vendors. This work is still evolving as products are evaluated, additional stock is organized, and adequate supply levels are confirmed across all five locations.

Before the system

Supply spending was not tracked consistently, purchasing was distributed across eight vendors, and teams had limited visibility into duplication, stock levels, and reorder needs.

Management system

Built an 18-sheet annual workbook covering five locations and approximately 290 cataloged supply lines, with starting and on-hand stock, usage, low-stock alerts, and monthly expense reporting.

Progress & next steps

Began phasing out duplicate or unnecessary products, maintained sufficient stock to avoid emergency orders during the observed period, and continues refining product choices, organization, and future cost comparisons.

Public case-study figures are aggregated and exclude employee names, vendor identities, internal pricing, and purchasing records. Early internal observations show reduced paper and chemical purchasing.
