Spokane Public Schools
Second Largest School District in Washington State
34 elementary schools (Grades K thru 6) Six middle schools (Grades 7 & 8) Six high schools (Grades 9 thru 12) 1 Skill Center Four special schools 12 support buildings 4 million square feet of buildings 5,000 staff members 28,000 students 2954 Asthmatic students (documented)
IAQ HistoryIn 1978, Spokane Public Schools’ Board of Directors faced a difficult challenge: how to renovate or replace 18 elementary school sites in a short period. Many of the sites had buildings and systems that were 40-50 years old. With almost 40,000 students in the district at the time, the board needed a large-scale solution. The answer came in the form of the “Proto-typical Design”, often called “Rainbow Schools” because of the large rainbow painted on the playground wall.
Solution
A single design (with floor plans flipped occasionally) for all 18 schools saved enormously on design and construction costs. Tilt-up concrete walls, smaller windows and fewer outside exposed surfaces provided significant savings in monthly energy costs.
ProblemBy the early 1990’s continuous IAQ problems in our facilities
created tension between administrators and school staff.This resulted in the formation of the Indoor Air Quality Joint
Committee whose purpose was to resolve IAQ issues district wide. Through this committee SPS became involved with the EPA TFS kit and sought funds to hire an IAQ Coordinator (Industrial Hygienist) to oversee the IAQ management program.
Fast-forward to 2002. The 18 “Rainbow Schools” suffered from leaky roofs, inadequate insulation, inefficient lighting, and heating and cooling systems in need of frequent repair. The 2003 bond began the process of replacing those major systems to ensure the Rainbow Schools will continue to be great places for students learn.
Solution
Support from the School Board Adopted a 25-year modernization plan to replace
or renovate the district’s 50 site inventory. Rolling plan includes School Construction Bonds
presented to the voters on a 6 year cycle 2003 Bond included over $165 million- replaced
3 elementary schools and 1 high school athletic facility. Provided major renovation to 2 high schools, and replaced 30 year old roofs, insulation and heating/cooling systems at 8 elementary schools.
2009 Bond passed with voter approval of $332 million for repairs, replacements and renovations.
Will include replacement or renovation of 4 elementary schools, 1 high school, and another 7 elementary roofing, insulation and HVAC system replacements.
Upgrades in the roofing, insulation, HVAC and lighting have returned in excess of $500,000 in rebates from our local utility company.
