Painting Guidelines

Criteria

The mission of WSISD’s Operations Department is to provide wall finishes that are aesthetically pleasing, and maintained well but also to comply with federal, state, and local regulations.The purpose of this Operating Policy/ Procedure (OP) is to establish a standard policy for painting District building interiors and to provide guidelines for color selections.

In order to be attuned to our buildings and to respond to individual wishes for more color, additional colors are now being offered. A total of (7) colors will be used District wide, (1) base color and (6) accents colors. All walls will be painted the same base color, in classrooms and offices an individual may choose to have one accent wall and can choose from the available (6) colors. The Operations Department will decide the location of the accent wall.

Painting will be performed by the Operations Department or approved contractor ONLY, no other staff members will be allowed to paint any District owned facility.

Painting Criteria:

Prior to painting, the room must meet the following criteria or the painting will not be completed.
Staples, stickers, painted artwork, tape or any adhesives will not be allowed on any wall. These damage a wall drastically and can really delay the painting process. Scotch Removable Mounting Putty (or equal) can be used to mount items to walls.
All items on wall (staples, tape, banners, posters artwork etc… ) will need to be removed by staff member prior to painting. If this requirement is not met upon arrival, we will deny the painting request.

When a campus has been selected for painting, a color palette will be sent by the Operations Department for color selection.
