In 1993, custodial care costs were in excess of 14 million dollars, to maintain over 4 million square feet. Per school, over 20 public school students and 1,000 Secondar School Students use the facilities plus administration buildings. The custodians also provide more than janitorial service such as maintaining heating and cooling systems, set-ups for particular functions/events, provide on-site Securit daily and preventative maintenance. The School at Camp Borden, prior to becoming the Boards jurisdiction, had contracted out cleaners. By comparison, the same level of service was not achieved. with the passing of Bill 40, this also prevented the Board from contracting out services which had traditionally been performed by employees of the board. The Simcoe County Board is the 8th largest in the Province, providing education of over 50,000 students daily. Financial reform by the Province is long over due. The Simcoe County Roman Catholic Separate School Board has recently went from contracting out janitorial duties to providing it as a Board Service.
