There was both an increase in full-service custodial contracting and employee–leasing contracting in 2013. Of the 39 districts that began contracting out these services, 10 were with employee-leasing agencies and the others were with full-service contractors. Some districts chose to contract out these services through attrition, whereby they gradually replace employees who terminate their employment with new contracted, private employees.
