2017 Bond Lead Paint Stabilization

  • Program Overview

    Lead paint remediation work

    The Office of School Modernization is currently conducting lead paint stabilization projects throughout the district. The intent of the bond is to stabilize peeling, chipping, chalking, or cracking paint. In most cases, stabilization includes priming deteriorated surfaces with a heavy penetrating primer and top coating with a finished layer of paint. In some cases, more involved remediation and preparation may need to occur.
