how to say ´auxiliar de acção educativa´ or ´funcionário´
 
Hello everyone!
 
I�ve got a doubt. Could anyone please tell me how you say � auxiliar de ac��o educativa� or �funcion�rio� (school) in English?  �Auxiliar de ac��o educativa� is a person who cleans classrooms, and looks after the school  buildings. He/ she is not a teacher but acommon employee.
 
 
thanks

In the UK it would be a caretaker.

Yes... Janitor is correct. I also use this word, which I learnt when I was in London.

Funcionario as a general word is civil servant.

I worked in the USA  and I think the word custodian is also appropriate for "funcion�rio", especially those who have other tasks rather as cleaning. (these are the above mentioned janitors)
It seems you got here a good list even for other teachers - custodian, caretaker and janitor Cool!!
