Clean School = Higher Attendance = Better Grades
The budgets of schools today are stretched extremely thin. Healthcare and utility costs are rising and most government mandates are underfunded. Schools are combing their budgets line by line looking for savings and many are coming to a similar conclusion; outsourcing the janitorial service is an option that can deliver substantial cost savings while actually improving the condition of your school.

Dollars & Sense
When school districts contract for janitorial services they can potentially realize savings that enable them to direct more funds to various staff and programs. It costs schools thousands of dollars annually per custodial employee to pay for retirement, healthcare, and benefit packages. By contracting with CMS, your school could save anywhere from 30 to 50 percent of what is presently being spent on custodians. Listed in the chart below are school districts in Michigan that have tracked and reported savings from contracting their janitorial service. The information was obtained from an article written by Dr. Ryan Olsen for The Mackinac Center for Public Policy dated September 27, 2007.
