Burrel Elementary was originally constructed in 1912 and was replaced by new buildings starting in 1976.  It is comprised of 7 classrooms, a cafeteria, a library, a staff lounge, a music room, and 2 playgrounds.  Cleaning Process: The principal works daily with the custodial staff of 1 full-time and 1 part-time custodians to ensure that the cleaning of the school is maintained to provide for a clean and safe school. The district governing board has adopted cleaning standards for the school. A summary of these standards are available at the district office for review.    Maintenance staff ensure that the repairs necessary to keep the school in good repair and working order are completed in a timely manner. While reviewing this report, please note that even minor discrepancies are reported in the inspection process. The items noted in the table have been corrected or are in the process of remediation.  The district participates in the State School Deferred Maintenance Program, which provides matching funds on a dollar–for–dollar basis, to assist school districts with expenditures for major repair or replacement of existing school building components. Typically this includes roofing, plumbing, heating, electrical systems, interior or exterior painting, and floor systems. For the 2008-2009 school year the district did not allocate any funds for deferred maintenance program because of bugetary concerns. The district currently has $52,463 in it Defered Maintenance account.  During the 2008-2009 school year, the district replaced facing boards around the upper portions of two buildings.  The school district has not had any outstanding maintenance problems and has not been inspected by the Fresno County Office. Defered Maintenance funds will be used to replace the parking lot in the near future.
