The Bethlehem Central School District’s Operations & Maintenance Department is pleased to introduce Maintenance Direct, the department’s new web-based work order system hosted by School Dude. Maintenance Direct is an easy-to-use tool allowing faculty and staff to submit requests to repair, install, or replace building-related needs with just a few clicks. The system is intended to help the O&M Department in its mission to provide a safe and welcoming environment for district students. It will offer a more effective way to manage work orders from request to completion.
Maintenance Direct is to be used for O&M work requests only. For technology-related work requests, please continue to use the BETS System. If you have an emergency, please contact O&M immediately by phone.
Maintenance Direct has many features that simplify the work order request process. Requests made through the Maintenance Direct program are sent in real-time to O & M for approval and assignment to the appropriate technician. The new system delivers direct communication via email and provides measurable progress and tracking of work orders.
The department’s goal is to phase out the existing email work order process by June 1, 2018 and use Maintenance Direct exclusively after that date. Pre-existing work orders have already been input into the new system by O&M staff.
