The Brevard Schools Foundation
Brevard Schools Foundation fills educational funding and opportunity gaps at all of our 83 public schools for 73,000 students and 5,000 teachers
by supporting innovation, engaging communities and changing lives.
Brevard Schools Foundation has provided over $47 million in support to Brevard Public Schools since 1987 and is consistently ranked among the top education foundations in the United States.
Programs of Brevard Schools Foundation include:
Volunteering with Brevard Public Schools
To volunteer at a district school, you must first complete an online application and proceed to the Office of District & School Security to complete the fingerprinting and payment process. All volunteers are subject to a background check by the Office of District & School Security.
For additional information, visit the District & School Security section of the BPS website, or contact (321) 633-1000 ext. 233 or districtsecurity@brevardschools.org.
Parent Leadership Team
BPS’ Parent Leadership Team is made up of parents representing each school throughout our county and provides a unique opportunity to join together with district personnel to participate in regular meetings covering a wide variety of educational issues. These parent leaders gather information, ask questions, share thoughts and/or concerns, provide feedback to district personnel and then share what they have learned with other parents and staff at their schools. These meetings serve as a valuable tool for maintaining regular two-way communica- tion between the school district and parents at each
of our schools throughout the school year. Each school is asked to send at least one parent representatives to these meetings.
For more information, visit the Parent Leadership Team section of the website or contact (321) 633-1000 ext. 389 or ext. 336.
