"If they think it's a laid-back job, they've probably never done a custodial job," said Fred Heberlie, custodial supervisor at Simonsen 9th Grade Center.
As students return to the Jefferson City Public Schools classrooms today, they will walk on the shiny floors and sit at the scrubbed desks the custodial staff worked on throughout the summer.
