Facilities: Facilities are healthful, adequate in size, well maintained and appropriate to house the educational
programs of the District.
All programs and services in the District are housed in appropriate facilities.
The Francis Howell School District has 26 buildings with 2,723,626 square feet of building space. The buildings
include ten elementary schools, five middle schools, three high schools, two alternative high schools, three early
childhood centers, one administration building, one support service building, one facilities and operations services
building, and one warehouse and transportation complex.
Francis Howell School District utilizes a District-wide facilities committee, along with the Director of Operations
and Facilities, Maintenance, HVAC, Grounds, and Custodial Managers who evaluate and monitor the effectiveness
of the buildings and offer improvements. The managers report directly to the Director of Operations and Facilities.
They act as liaisons for all operations in their respective departments in addition to small construction, renovation,
bond issue construction, roofing projects and other capital improvements. The Facilities Manager is also in charge
of the day to day operations of the carpentry, grounds, warehouse and mechanical departments.
A clean and healthy learning environment is provided for District programs and services.
The Custodial Manager and Custodial Foreman are responsible for maintaining a clean, safe and orderly
environment for 26 campuses and buildings: ten elementary schools, five middle schools, three high schools, two
alternative high schools, three early childhood centers, one administration building, one support service building,
one facilities and operations services building, and one warehouse and transportation complex.
A work force of 151 custodians, including substitute custodians, fulfills their duties to enhance the instructional
environment. It is the goal of the Custodial Department to assist in the education of the District students by
providing buildings that are clean and orderly. Because of this goal, custodians develop a sense of ownership and
pride in their individual schools and for the District.
Adequate maintenance services are provided to maintain all educational facilities in a clean, safe and orderly
state.
Work orders currently are generated electronically in order to expedite the process of the work order system. Work
orders are prioritized and completed in a timely manner. Maintenance, grounds and custodial employees maintain
all District facilities in a clean, safe and orderly state. The HVAC in-house team guarantees one hour response time
for calls.
The maintenance department routinely completes regular building inspections. In addition the fire departments and
the insurance carrier schedule and perform regular safety inspections. Outside vendors are contracted to inspect fire
extinguishers, suppression systems, fire alarm annunciator systems and elevators and to provide services for trash
removal, recycling, pest control, and water treatment.
A regular yearly maintenance schedule provides for routine maintenance at all District facilities.
Facilities and grounds are periodically inspected by the Facilities Manager for potential safety hazards; corrections
are made promptly to ensure that local and/or state public safety requirements are being met.

FRANCIS HOWELL SCHOOL DISTRICT
Safety Guidelines
The Board of Education is committed to establishing a safe well maintained work and school environment for all participants. It will only be
possible to achieve this goal if all employees make a conscious effort to follow general guidelines established for their position. As well, it is
important that every employee report to their most immediate supervisor any unsafe conditions that may lead to injury. Below, please find
guidelines associated with the performance of responsibilities for the assigned position. Please read these guidelines, sign the bottom and return to
your building administrator. If you need clarification concerning any of our guidelines, please contact your supervisor.
It is the District’s hope that these guidelines help contribute to a safer environment and reduce the cost associated with worker’s compensation for
the District. Employee worker’s compensation benefits may be reduced if an injury results from a direct violation of the following guidelines.
JOB SPECIFIC GUIDELINES for Custodial/Maintenance/HVAC/Warehouse/Specialists:
Follow proper procedures while performing floor cleaning and waxing to control falls.
Remove wet mats until dry to prevent slipping.
Never place cleaning articles or equipment in aisles or on stairs while cleaning unless warning signs are posted.
Do not place articles on top of step ladders, cabinets, or lockers and leave unattended.
When unpacking boxes, barrels, or crates, always remove protruding nails, metal stripping, and wires before handling.
Do not pick up broken glass. Sweep it up at once. Pick up fine splinters and chips with a cloth or paper towel while wearing
protective gloves. Wear gloves when using steel wool to prevent embedded slivers of steel.
Unplug electric lamps before wiping with damp cloths. Handle electrical equipment only with dry hands. Never yank out an extension
cord by the cord; rather pull it out by the plug. Always switch the equipment off first. Always turn power off to fluorescent fixtures.
When working with electrical panels, use “lock-out/tag-out” procedures.
If it is necessary to dig into waste cans while emptying them, use caution.
When using stepladders, do no stand on the top two (2) steps. The stepladder should be open and placed on a secure base. Be sure
locking devices on the stepladder are in working order and are used. Never stand on a chair, desk or box to gain height.
Report defective or missing equipment.
Take personal responsibility for seeing that slipping or tripping conditions anywhere on the floor or stairway is taken care of at once.
Do not leave chemicals or cleaning supplies unattended. Do not leave tool, supplies, or equipment unattended or unsecured. Label all
bottles of chemicals if not properly labeled by the manufacturer. It is important that contents are known in case of poisoning. Know
how to locate the Material Safety Data Sheets.
Wear sturdy leather shoes when running lawn equipment to prevent slipping and/or injury to feet. All shoes worn must have non-skid
soles.
If you must fuel power equipment turn it off and let it cool.
Be sure you have been well trained in the use of equipment before you attempt to use it. If you are unsure, always ask your supervisor
for instruction.
Use proper techniques when shoveling wet snow by hand. Over-filling your shovel and the lifting and throwing of snow is a frequent
cause of back strain.
When raising or lowering cafeteria tables, take special care to observe for any evidence of malfunction of the tables. If you note that
the tables are becoming difficult to raise or lower, there may be some damage to the mechanism designed to provide a smooth
operation of these tables. If this is observed, contact the Custodial Manager and report the problem. Do not continue to struggle with
the tables or kick with your feet to disengage the table. This will cause additional damage to the tables and may cause you to strain or
injure yourself.

Alternate Evacuation Sites
Part of the School Emergency Operation Plan (SEOP) is to designate an alternative site that students/staff could occupy in the event of a disaster or emergency. If another FHSD was not available for emergency use then the school would utilize another nearby building. Various businesses and churches in the District were contacted and visited and agreed to be an alternate emergency site for our schools. This chart indicates schools, sites that would serve them, contact information, and capacity.

Safety Emergency Operations Plan
FOREWORD
Office/Incident Command Team copy
A. This plan will outline actions to be taken by the school officials in conjunction with
Francis Howell School District and local government officials to:
1. Prevent avoidable disasters and reduce the vulnerability of students, faculty and
administration to any disaster that may strike
2. Establish capabilities for protecting students, faculty and administration from the
effects of disasters
3. Respond effectively to the actual occurrence of disasters
4. Provide for recovery in the aftermath of any emergency involving extensive damage
within the school
B. It is not the intent of this plan to deal with those events that happen on a daily basis,
which do not cause widespread problems and are handled routinely by the
administration and staff. It will, however, deal with those occurrences which create
needs and cause suffering that the victims cannot alleviate without assistance, and
that require an extraordinary commitment of school and governmental resources.
C. The School Emergency Operations Plan is a multi-hazard, functional plan, broken
into three components:
1. A basic plan that serves as an overview of the school’s approach to emergency
management
2. Annexes that address specific activities critical to emergency response and
recovery
3. Appendices which support each annex and contain technical information, details,
and methods for use in emergency operations.
D. The Basic Plan is to be used primarily by the members of the school’s incident
command team, but all school staff should be familiar with it. The annexes and the
appendices are for the members of the incident command team and not for all
members of the staff.
E. The contents of this plan must be understood by those who will implement it in order
for emergency management planning to be effective. The school administration will
brief staff on their roles in emergency management. Newly employed administrators
and staff members will be briefed as they assume their duties.
F. Staff with assigned tasks will be responsible for the development and maintenance of
their respective segments of the plan. They will update their portion of the plan
as needed based on observations made during emergency response, deficiencies
noted during drills and exercises, and changes in school structure and procedures.

6. Recycling and Energy
53
The Operations and Facilities Department has made great strides to be
proactive regarding energy and “green” practices for the Francis
Howell School District.
• “Green” Custodial Chemicals
• Recycling
• Laclede Gas Incentive and Rebate Program
• AmerenUE Incentive Program
• Energy Audits
GREEN CUSTODIAL
• 100% of custodial paper products are “green certified” (roll towels, toilet paper, multifold
towels)
• 80% - 90% of all daily custodial chemicals are “green certified”
• The District is “Cleaning Greener”
o Micro fiber dust mopping
o Micro fiber wipes and rags
o All custodial equipment is being purchased “greener” (low moisture, gel
batteries…)
o HEPA air quality low noise vacuum cleaners
RECYCLING
• A single stream recycling program has been initiated at all sites this year. The
program has been received well and had an influence on students. The data will be
reviewed; the projections to date are indicating a substantial savings potential in trash
hauling for future years.
• The District participates in a paper recycling program. The City of St. Peters is currently
recycling all paper bins in the District with the exception of Daniel Boone.
• The Facilities and Operations Department continually recycles waste metal, ballast, and
aluminum from projects that occur through the year. In addition, the new Facilities and
Operations building shop is heated with recycled oil that is retained from the District fleet
vehicle oil change program.

ENERGY
Energy Audit
Partner with Murphy Company and AmerenUE to perform, at no charge to the District, an
energy
audit at Fairmount Elementary to review energy use and develop a plan for HVAC renovation.
Fluorescent Bulb Recycling
Participated in a program with a vendor to recycle fluorescent bulbs at no cost to the District.
Energy Usage
Prepared, researched, and implemented an energy conservation initiative District wide for the
2011/2012 school year.
Worked with Francis Howell High School art students for posters and slogans
Identified:
o KW usage per site (share with each building monthly)
o water usage per site (share with each building monthly)
o gas usage per site (share with each building monthly)
o monitor and adjust energy management systems
o research and identify potential energy savings
o tracked utility usage and compared to previous year by month – the
District successfully reduced the use of water, fuel, and electric District
wide in the 2011-2012 school year
