IdeaPaint is a single-coat, roller applied paint that can transform any paintable surface into a high-performance dry-erase writing platform. In a school setting, IdeaPaint can resurface worn-out chalkboards and whiteboards. It also creates 360-degree learning environments since it can be painted literally everywhere (walls, desks, chairs, floors, lockers, etc.). IdeaPaint also costs roughly 66 percent less than a traditional whiteboard, is reportedly better performing and carries a lifetime guarantee. IdeaPaint is an environmentally friendly whiteboard solution on the market: it will never end up in a landfill, it is simply stirred — compared baking and curing process for whiteboards — and because it’s so light, requires less materials and fuel to ship. IdeaPaint’s products have been recognized by the Greenguard Environmental Institute, signifying that they conform to stringent LEED for Schools requirements. As school districts face budget cuts, IdeaPaint is essentially a “no brainer.”  Matanuska-Susitna Borough School District, Alaska’s second largest school district, has benefitted from IdeaPaint. By installing IdeaPaint rather than new whiteboards, the district saved $650,000 across its 44 schools — meaning administrators can reinvest almost $15,000 per school for other initiatives. www.ideapaint.com
