Jonathan Law’s custodial staff works day and night to ensure that the halls and classrooms are always clean and tidy. 

Head Custodian Christopher Burton oversees the day crew which includes Tony Chappotin, Walt Kubek, and Chris Olenick, and the night crew which includes Rich Branaccio, Jeremy Goiran, Mike Henthorn, Mike Radcliffe, Pat Rua, Tim Soto, and Mark Thibault

“The custodians do so much before, during and after school that often is overlooked by the community,” Law Principal Mr. Darcy said. “They help with sub coverages, set up for special events like clubs and athletics, and assist staff/students throughout the day with several other duties.”

The staff has many day-to-day responsibilities that they carry out to ensure Law is clean and safe for students and staff. 

“Every day first thing in the morning we turn on all the lights, check all of the classrooms, check parking lots for any damage and overall just make sure there are no problems,” Burton said. “We keep ahead of spills, clean between lunch waves, and basically do everything we can to keep the building running smoothly and keep Jonathan Law healthy.”

Custodians at Law are always behind the scenes ensuring safety and cleanliness around the building. Everything that is needed to keep events and sports going is done by the custodians ahead of time to make sure everything is ready. 

“The custodians at law do just about everything we do not see,” math teacher Mr. Ruzbarsky said.  “They are here countless hours making sure our building is clean and helping setup all the athletic events before anyone is here to see who does it.”

The teachers and custodial staff work together to communicate timing and what needs to be done. 

“I like working at Jonathan Law because of the students and staff,” Burton said. “The staff always communicates what they need and gives us enough time in advance to schedule everything which is helpful.”
