School Safety Inspection Checklist
During the summer, our school was planning a building renovation that included modifying exterior/interior walls, windows, and floors. Since this was a large project with minimal time to complete, it was necessary to plan which areas of the building should be renovated first and how the custodial staff will regulate the cleanliness of our building during this time. During this walk-through, I was able to help prioritize the renovation projects and give ideas of how to manage this process.
When thinking about what becoming a school administrator entails, an idea that never came to my mind was building maintenance. As a future school administrator, we have various “jobs” that appear to be outside the educational field. This experience was rewarding because I was able to see the school administrator through a different lens and learn from its new experience.
I believe the school administrator role is one of the most difficult jobs in education. The fact that administrator must be experts in many different facets of education can be a difficult task. As school leaders, we must be well-rounded leaders, managers, and educators to develop a successful school.
After reviewing the School Safety Inspection checklist, it is obvious that school leaders have many areas to secure in order to provide a safe environment for their staff and students. After witnessing my school administrator go through this checklist, it was apparent that it was tedious and took quite a bit of time, but the checklist helped provide support to a tedious task. I believe this part of the job is imperative and should be a high priority for any school leader.
