Finding: Fulton Elementary School: Room 55 (FXXFES2023002225)

Fire safety concern. A large wall covering (dark green foliage) was present on a drywall wall. It may be exceeding 50% of the room's wall space which is against fire code. As for an IEQ concern, if a relative humidity concern would occur and pending type of the wall covering material, humidity could be trapped behind wall covering causing mold growth. Another possibility, is if the material is not labeled as flame retardant it must be sprayed with HCPSS's approved fire retardant which can create moisture to become trapped between drywall and wall covering allowing for possible mold growth. It is in the best interest for school administration to have the wall covering to be removed.
