Work Order
The Worcester Public Schools utilizes an internet-based work management tool from SchoolDude.com called Maintenance Direct.
At each school site, designated staff have access to this program and are able to submit work requests for their building(s), as well as check the status of their requests, online.
Maintenance Direct has allowed the schools and the maintenance department to work together to identify and repair areas of the school system in need of attention.
