All Brevard County Public School teachers are invited to apply for mini-grant funding to support initiatives and programs in support of student achievement. The intention of Brevard Schools Foundation is to encourage teachers to implement creative projects in areas of need where school budgets fall short or tax dollars cannot be used.
Even with Brevard's high ranking of dollars spent in the classroom, teachers typically spend between $500-$1,000 of their own money for classroom supplies. Without additional support, it is challenging for teachers to find ways to add innovative projects, hands on experiences and study trips to engage students in learning at the highest levels.
These mini-grants serve this purpose and are funded with proceeds from the sale of "License for Learning" specialty tags. Since 2004, Brevard Schools Foundation has awarded $300,000 to 400 teachers serving more than 10,000 students!
