Re: Stair markings
¿ªÔÆÌåÓý
Thanks, Meg, for listing the guidelines!!
I¡¯d agree -on all stairs. ?Only had one student request the top step only.
If you are in a school district, they most likely have an ADA compliance staff person and departments that?make modifications.? In our school district, we make a request through the principal and then someone comes out to view the situation according to your
request. They usually paint the stairs. However, one of my recent requests may turn into a stair replacement because the school stairs are so old.?
If this is the process for your school district, TRY and be there when someone comes out to assess the needs because errors can be done. See attachment (of past modifications) where they just painted the whole riser and no contrast for going down the stairs-
that was a redo.? ?This was not what I expected at all, since usually it was a 1- 2 inch stripe on the top and riser. Another example, a PT taped the stairs- not bad but tape can peel and be a tripping hazard if stairs have heavy traffic.? The other picture
is a reconstruction on a school where they put in contrasting stairs- wonderful.??
If I have a school under construction, I go and inquire on the stairs they will be installing. One construction company cheaped out, not installing the stairs ordered despite the building supervisor telling them- that was a redo.
The ADA compliance staff and district painters have been great to work with in our district especially on modifications with staircases that offer slanted walls/overheads where our VI kids could walk into them and with piping in stairwells.?
Good Luck, and hope this is helpful
