Officials with a private company admitted they were not doing a good job cleaning Volusia county's schools, and promised to do better.

Volusia County school board members demanded answers from Aramark at a meeting Tuesday.

Teachers have told News 13 their schools are dirty, and a health department report now shows 14 schools received unsatisfactory results.

"Restrooms that aren't clean, like I said, no soap, no paper, those are potential health risks to children and that's totally unacceptable," said Chairman Linda Costello, Volusia County School Board.

"We're not meeting your expectations, that's clear," said Aramark president Jeff Gilliam.

Aramark officials admitted they underestimated the work and didn't use enough custodians.

In 2013, the school district laid off hundreds of custodians and signed a $57 million contract with Aramark to clean the schools as a cost-saving measure.

But since 2014 teachers have complained that the schools were constantly filthy and were resorting to cleaning their classrooms themselves.

One school board member said that it's up to the school superintendent to make a recommendation on whether to continue with Aramark, or go with another company.
