ICCA-AP Furniture, Fixtures, Equipment, Facility Conditions

To ensure that all district buildings are equipped with furniture that supports a safe, comfortable, and effective learning environment for learners and teachers, the following guidelines have been established to ensure appropriate furniture, fixtures, and equipment are selected and utilized by all staff. 

FURNITURE 

  • Furniture should contribute to a positive learning environment. 
  • Spaces should be furnished to ensure ease of movement for learners and staff, including those using mobility aids. 
  • Furniture must be free of sharp edges, loose parts, or materials that could pose a risk to learners or staff. 
  • Furniture should have a hard, vinyl, or leather surface, to mitigate sanitary concerns.  
  • Vinyl and leather surfaces must be free of significant tears.  
  • Fabric-covered furniture may be allowed, only if it is UL listed (fire code) and meets other expectations outlined in this policy.  
  • Regular inspections should be conducted to ensure that all furniture remains in good condition. Any damaged or worn-out furniture should be repaired or replaced promptly or removed at the direction of school officials.  
  • All furniture must comply with relevant local, state, and federal regulations, including those related to fire safety, accessibility, and environmental impact. 

FIXTURES 

  • Any items that need to be fastened to the wall in a manner that results in a hole in the wall, submit a work order and receive prior approval from Buildings & Grounds.  

  • Stapling and the use of pushpins is allowed without prior approval.  

  • Items cannot be hung from the ceiling grid.  

  • Exceptions may be made for low voltage lights, through a discussion with the appropriate administrator and adherence to other guidelines outlined in this policy.  

EQUIPMENT 

  • Any appliances that need power must be plugged directly into a wall outlet.  
  • The use of extension cords is prohibited by fire code.  
  • Power strips may be utilized, provided they aren’t for appliances.  
  • The only item that can be plugged into the ceiling outlet is the district-issued projector.  

All staff are responsible for ensuring compliance with this policy and for reporting any issues with classroom furniture, fixtures, or equipment to the appropriate department.
