The Custodial & Grounds Department consists of over 145 professionals that are committed to helping BISD students succeed in academics, athletics, and in life.

There is a growing body of research that provides strong evidence of a direct link of the condition of the facilities and grounds to academic engagement, student achievement, attendance, behavior, and teacher turnover.

"The conditions of school facilities were correlated to student outcomes, including student achievement, attendance, and perception of the school environment. The long-term effect on these outcomes was significant."

~ Dr. Gary Wade McGiboney, Ph.D. (2016) commenting on an 8-year study of a large school district in El Paso, Texas
