Sidney janitors keep schools in order and work shifts
Norm Fletchall, head custodian for Sidney schools, oversees twelve janitors who maintain six schools plus North Ward, South Ward, East Ward and Central grade schools. They handle cleaning, minor electrical, plumbing and heating tasks, with shifts from 3:00 am to 11:30 am up to 7:00 am to 4:00 pm. The heating is reduced during energy shortages and custodians aim for cooperative student relations to reduce vandalism.
