Question 4 : How can we get our site grounds equipment repaired?

Answer:

You can bring it into Operations, making sure that it is labeled, showing site and problem with equipment.  You can also request that we pick up equipment by submitting an SRTS ticket.

 What is the SRTS (Service Request Tracking System) and how can I submit a ticket for services on the SRTS?

The SRTS provides a Web based method of requesting Administrative Services within the District.  Each department which takes requests for service through the SRTS has a Service Request button on their department web page.  You also may click here to submit a ticket for service.  Here is a SRTS User Training Guide (PowerPoint Presentation) you can view on how to use the SRTS.
