Conduct regular buildings and grounds inspections for safety, cleanliness, maintenance, and compliance; address issues raised through inspections and communicate concerns and violations to the Business Director and Head of School. Coordinate inspections by insurance companies, fire and police departments, and other applicable authorities. Effectively address issues raised by the inspections to ensure compliance.
