District staff report limited Operation Bright Side capacity for graffiti abatement at school properties
Summary
Staff reported a meeting with Operation Bright Side to coordinate graffiti abatement at open and closed district properties; the nonprofit has limited capacity and can paint first‑level surfaces but does not have a prioritized list yet.
A district staff member reported that they and Mister Watson met with Mary Green of Operation Bright Side to discuss a partnership to remove graffiti from district properties.
Operation Bright Side told the committee it has very limited capacity — about three workers or volunteers available for the work described — and can abate graffiti on first‑floor surfaces and paint, both at open and closed buildings. The district does not yet have a prioritized list of schools for the group to address.
Why it matters: graffiti abatement can deter vandalism and improve neighborhood appearance, but the district will need to assign priorities or secure larger contractor capacity to address sites at scale.
Next steps: staff said they will return with a specific list of properties to request assistance from Operation Bright Side or explore other abatement options.
