Over the past winter large portions of the Center School exterior paint failed causing it to peel and shed to the ground. The building has multiple layers of paint, some of which contains lead. The facilities budget typically expends approximately $5,000 annually to address exterior paint repairs. However, due to the severe winter, combined with the age of the exterior paint, the building experienced extensive damage. 

M. Brett Painting will scrape all paint damaged areas and repaint the exposed exterior brick immediately following Center School summer programs. Long-term, the District will evaluate whether to continue the annual exterior paint repair program or to plan on removing the existing paint system, repoint the exterior brick, and install an alternate coating system.
