You are the assistant principal responsible for supervising the school’s custodians (janitors). As with teaching positions, it is extremely difficult to find personnel who are interested in the custodial positions.
Each of the school’s three custodians are expected to meet the expectations developed in the attached job description. Unfortunately, the second shift custodian, Mr. Smith, has not been performing well. In his 4th month in the position, several teachers have complained to you that their rooms are not clean. Teachers in rooms 2, 5, and 7 on June 20th complained that their trash was not removed and that students desk tops were dirty. On June 25, the teacher in room 5 again complained that there was trash on her floor.
You called Mr. Smith into your office on June 26 and verbally warned him of his poor performance.
Your own walkthroughs on July 1 identified that the quality of cleaning work from Mr. Smith was inadequate. Paper and trash were on the floor of classrooms 1, 3, and 4; and four students desk tops had a sticky substance on them in rooms 1, 3, and 7. In addition, trash baskets were full of trash.
Construct an appropriate letter of warning to Mr. Smith. Make sure your letter directs the type of improvement that is expected by Mr. Smith.
Make sure to apply content from Course Den Items 2.0, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4. The content from item 2.2 refers to face to face conversations, however some of it also applies to a written letter.
While not included in the submitted part of this assignment, think about how you will structure the needed conversation with Mr. Smith. Think about how to apply the strategies from item 2.2.
(There is no submission template for this assignment since you are drafting a letter.)
