<p class="MsoNormal">Let it not be said that the SML is slow getting back to you, unlike your Grounds folks.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">While I applaud your idea of having the sewing class have a go at making the curtain, please be aware it’s not a simple task.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">You need a clean work space and really long tables.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">You need really good lighting. (industrial. Not theatrical)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">And the class will need really good supervision.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Make sure the fabric you buy is, at the very least, flame resistant. Make sure you get a certificate to that effect from the vendor where you buy the fabric.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It would be best if you bought a synthetic fabric that is Inherently Flame Resistant (IFR), but that fabric can be pricey.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Don’t forget you’ll need a way to hang the curtain on the batten, so you’ll need some webbing, grommets & tie line.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">And last but not least, I hope the sewing class gets paid, or extra credit or something to acknowledge their hard work.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I hope that helps<o:p></o:p></p>

<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">Dear people who are smarter than me, <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">I am starting in on help the local HS with their upcoming musical. For what ever reason the back wall was never painted. When asked if we can paint it BLACK, the people who make those choices
are being radio quite. So a question was raised about the cost putting a BLACK curtain on the upstage most batten. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">Here is my question, if I suggest we (the school) buy several rolls of proper curtain material, is it safe to have the sewing class make a curtain that fits the space? Not sure what codes might
apply. My other option is go get a quote from some place like ROSEBRAND. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">In another part of the building the ART Dept. asked the principal for permission to paint a mural on a wall. After the fact, the heads of grounds, (maybe someone else) threw a fit because they
were not consulted before hand. They (head of grounds) are not know to get back to people in a timely fashion.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
