Chris Crockett
Facilities and Grounds SupervisorTurner USD 202My career in facilities began in 2009 at the University of Kansas in the Student Housing Department. Soon after that I found a passion for supporting education. My wife and I were expecting twins, and I wanted to serve the younger crowd. My transition to the K-12 world started in 2011 where I served as a Plumber, HVAC Technician, and Energy Specialist through 2017 when I was hired at Turner USD 202 in Kansas City, KS as the Supervisor of Facilities. Career highlights include:
- Current President of National School Plant Management (NSPMA)
- 2026 KADPF Facility Director of the Year
- 2024/25 United School Administrators of Kansas Board Member (USAK)
- 2023 President of Kansas Association of Directors of Plant Facilities (KADPF)

…K-12 schools are being asked to deliver healthier, safer and more sustainable/resilient learning environments while managing constrained budgets, aging infrastructure, and increasingly complex building systems. Drawing on decades of experience operating/constructing public schools and a national perspective working with K-12 facility leaders, this session examines constructability and Total Cost of Ownership through the eyes of those responsible for operating and maintaining them. Explore how involving facilities professionals early on can improve design decisions, especially in owner-occupied projects while supporting achievable long-term performance. The goal is simple: create educational environments where teachers and students can focus on the learning, and less on the health and safety concerns of the building.
