IdeaPaint Saves Alaskan School District 66%

Posted on Mon, Aug 09, 2010

Mat-Su Borough School District

Over a two-year period, the Operations & Maintenance Department of the Mat-Su Borough School District based in Palmer, Alaska is helping teachers and students get rid of chalk dust. Switching to dry-erase surfaces with IdeaPaint will help protect students and staff with allergies and asthma and keep dust from damaging electronics.

“Every board replaces another,” said Don Carney, Assistant Director of Operations and Maintenance, so it saves the District money. Carney reports that resurfacing old whiteboards and chalkboards with IdeaPaint saves the District about 66% in purchase, installation, upkeep, and replacement costs.

The Operations & Maintenance Department plans to refurbish all of the Districts' old whiteboards and chalkboards into new, high-performing dry-erase surfaces with IdeaPaint. Before school starts in August, approximately 80 boards will be painted—40 at Palmer High School and 40 at Colony High School. During the winter break, another 80, and by next summer, all the old whiteboards and chalkboards in the District painted. Carney said that two District employees could prep and paint about 20 chalkboards in two days.

The Mat-Su Borough School District points to the following benefits of using IdeaPaint:

• Provides innovation for classrooms
• Saves money—costs about 66% less than replacing traditional whiteboards or chalkboards; shipping is about 1/3 the cost of shipping whiteboards or chalkboards
• Protects the environment by restoring/recycling worn-out whiteboards and chalkboards—there is nothing to throw out
• Saves energy—traditional dry-erase boards require baking and curing procedures that consume large amount of energy. IdeaPaint is simply stirred
• Cutting maintenance time—installation and maintenance is about 1/3 the required time of that for more traditional boards

IdeaPaint is not only a fantastic way to save your school district substantial dollars at a time when budgets are being cut across the country, it is a powerful way to foster collaboration in the classroom and boost creativity.
