Exterior Painting - All buildings in the Lincoln Public School system are properly prepared and painted on a five-year rotation. Exterior painting is done during the summer months. In order to avoid the need of offering vendor contracts for buildings maintained by the school system, an average of 10 buildings should be completed each summer.
The procedure of the District is to maintain the original color combinations of each building as long as it is practical. Occasionally, however, a color change may be necessary due to alterations in the structure of the building such as the replacement of windows and door frames, insulated window panels or other architectural changes. Any change in the existing pattern or color of a building shall be made jointly by the Associate Superintendent for Business Affairs, the building principal and the Paint Superintendent.
Interior Painting - All buildings in the Lincoln Public School system are intended to be properly prepared and painted on an eight-year rotation. Interior painting is conducted on a continuous basis throughout the year by the permanent Paint Department staff. The execution of interior painting projects are coordinated by the Building Craft/Paint Superintendent and the building principal in order to avoid any conflict with the daily room assignment.
The intent of the Paint Department is to permit the building principal and the classroom teacher wide discretion in the selection of interior building colors. The approved guidelines for color selection are available from the Painting Department.
Locker Refurbishing - All locker door surfaces designated for refurbishing will be properly prepared and electrostatically painted on the basis of need. Lockers should be painted during the summer months while not in use and completed prior to any interior painting required in the building. Broken or damaged parts will be repaired or replaced and an attempt will be made to straighten any dents in the doors prior to finish painting.
The intent of the Paint Department is to retain the original color scheme whenever possible. Changing the color of the lockers is discouraged.
