Mr. Christopher Smallwood is the Operations Facilitator for the Berkley School District.

Our skilled custodial and maintenance staff is responsible for such things as disinfecting, maintaining heating systems, ensuring water quality, providing cleaning services, grounds upkeep, building automation for energy management, capital projects assistance and security. With regard to the District's Return to School Plan, the Facilities staff disinfects all "high-touch" areas and restrooms twice a day with Bioesque, a natural, EPA-registered disinfectant made from Thyme oil that kills viruses in 4 minutes (even COVID-19).
