Hi, my name is Jeremy Poole and I am with DPSAFT-Division of Public School Academic Facilities and Transportation since 2013. I am the Area 4 Area Project Manager-Maintenance. This area includes most of Southern Arkansas. Including Dawson, South Central, and South East Co-Ops.  During my time with The Division my duties have taken me to nearly all areas of the state so chances are that if you work for a school district in Arkansas we may have ran into each other.

As an Area Project Manager- Maintenance my primary duty is to provide support to Arkansas Public Schools in regards to Maintenance and Operations of a school. The Maintenance section performs site visits to public school district facilities to perform facility inspections to ensure safety and compliance State standards. Area Project Managers-Maintenance (APM-M) document each facility’s condition, performance of maintenance and preventative maintenance, custodial plan versus custodial performance, and other facility related issues. The APM-Ms work with public school districts to improve their maintenance and custodial services and refer them to other State agencies such as the State Health Department, State Fire Marshal, etc. if there are serious and/or issues not corrected by the public school district. APM-Ms teach and assist public school districts in the use of the State mandated computerized automated maintenance management system (OperationsHero).
