Katemal Shorty

School Custodian

Katemal Shorty works as a custodian here at the Marshall School. His employer is the Lower Yukon School District. He had no training of any kind for this job. He also has a high school education.

Katemal works outside and inside of the school building most of the time. And he works 7 hours a day. He expects to work as a custodian until the district decides to fire him. Most of the time he works with Leo Fitka. His boss is the principal, Roger Adams.

Katemal's job responsibilities are just about everything inside the school building. His regular salary is $13.00-$14.00 an hour. The best thing about his job is waxing the floor and the worst part is stripping the floor.

His advice to the younger people who might want to do his job later is to stay in school, if you need and want a job like his.
