Surtax funding supports the security tools Brevard Public Schools relies on every day. This is not a new tax.
At Edgewood, our OpenGate advanced weapons detection system screens for weapons while maintaining a fast and efficient flow of students, staff, and visitors entering campus.
Already installed at every BPS high school, and expanding to all middle schools during the 2026-27 school year, OpenGate allows individuals to walk through with most personal items without stopping, helping reduce delays while enhancing campus security.

The Millage renewal funds game officials for middle and high school athletics across Brevard County. This is not a new tax.
These officials help ensure games are conducted safely, consistently, and fairly for all student-athletes.
At Edgewood Jr/Sr High School, this funding allows revenue collected through ticket sales to stay within the athletic program rather than being used to cover officiating expenses. Those dollars can then be directed back into opportunities and resources that benefit student-athletes.
From equipment and uniforms to program needs throughout the year, keeping more athletic funding at the school level helps support a positive experience for student-athletes while strengthening school athletic programs.

Surtax funding strengthens school safety by providing the security tools schools rely on every day.
This is not a new tax. The Sales Surtax is a renewal of the existing half-cent sales tax that helps fund safe, maintained, and modern school facilities.
One example is the Raptor Badge Alert system. Funded by the Surtax, the system is designed to enhance student and staff safety by providing a faster emergency response when assistance is needed.
Tools like Raptor help schools communicate quickly and make it possible to respond rapidly in an emergency. When these safety systems are in place, students and staff can feel confident walking through the doors each morning.
Sales Surtax ensures Brevard Public Schools can continue investing in protective measures that help keep every school a safe and welcoming place for students to learn.

We are excited to be formally recognized by the Merritt Island Rotary as Edgewood's first Interact Club! Interact is a service club helping both local and international communities. Ninth grader, Aadhira Guna, will proudly lead Edgewood's club.
This November, two local funding measures are on the ballot. Neither are new. Both are already
in place.
Earlier this week we shared about Sales Surtax.
The second measure on November's ballot is the Millage — a property tax renewal that funds
the teachers, programs, and technology that make learning happen every day in Brevard County
classrooms.
Millage is the small portion of property taxes that stays right here in Brevard County, locally
approved by voters to directly support Brevard Public Schools. Every dollar collected goes to the
people and programs inside our schools.
Millage funds three things: employee pay, essential programs, and classroom technology.
