High‑school seniors pitch painted parking‑spot project; board signals conditional one‑year pilot
Summary
Two Northern Lehigh high‑school seniors proposed a senior parking‑spot painting project to boost school spirit; administrators suggested a conditional one‑year pilot with design approvals, supervision and a small fee to cover materials; board members raised equity and supervision questions.
Two high‑school seniors presented a plan to let graduating students custom‑paint assigned parking spaces as a senior‑year activity.
Samantha Mack introduced the idea and said participating seniors would pay a small fee and a permit to cover materials (staff estimated exterior latex paint at about $52 per 5‑gallon container) and that designs would be power‑washed off at year‑end. She and Emma Heil said the goal is to increase school spirit and give seniors a memorable experience.
Administrators and board members asked practical questions about cost, supervision and equity for students who do not drive. A board member suggested a mid‑lot paw‑print option for students who cannot participate by driving. The administration said the building would oversee design submission and approval, require participants to be in good standing and provide supervision for painting and pressure‑wash removal.
Board direction: While no formal motion was recorded, several members expressed support for a year‑long conditional pilot to test the program, with final details to be returned to the board for approval. Staff said designs must be pre‑approved by administration and that safety/supervision and removal procedures would be clarified before implementation.
Provenance: Student presentation begins at SEG 287 (introduction) and the board’s conditional support discussion continues through SEG 578–579 where members suggested a one‑year trial.
