Millage helps Brevard Public Schools continue offering programs that keep students learning, engaged, and prepared for the future. This is not a new tax.

It helps fund music programs in our secondary schools, providing students with opportunities to develop their talents through band, chorus, orchestra, and other performing arts experiences.

At Stone, millage funding helped support the music curriculum through the purchase of sheet music and other materials. These resources allow student musicians to learn, perform, and grow.

Participation in music education builds creativity, discipline, teamwork, and confidence while helping students develop skills that extend far beyond the classroom.

Strong Schools. Strong Brevard.

The Sales Surtax renewal is paid for by everyone who shops in Brevard and funds safe, well-maintained schools. This is not a new tax.

It funds secure buildings, facility investments, and technology infrastructure — the physical spaces students learn in every day.

This year at Stone, that meant student bathroom renovations.

The Sales Surtax allows Brevard Public Schools to make these needed improvements, ensuring students and staff learn and work in safe, comfortable, and resilient buildings — year after year.

Strong Schools. Strong Brevard.

Millage allows Brevard Public Schools to provide teacher salaries that remain competitive with surrounding counties and reflects our commitment to investing in fair, competitive teacher pay.

This is not a new tax. The millage is a renewal of an existing local funding source that helps support teacher salaries and school operations throughout Brevard County.

A portion of millage revenue is dedicated to supporting teacher compensation, helping fund the educators who teach and support students across our district.

Millage is one of the local funding sources that helps Brevard Public Schools invest in its workforce and continue supporting classrooms throughout the county.

Strong Schools. Strong Brevard.

Surtax funding strengthens school safety by providing the physical 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 OpenGate weapons detection. Already installed at all high schools in Brevard Public Schools, OpenGate is scheduled to expand to every middle school during the 2026-27 school year through Surtax funding.
These systems create safer entrances, allow for faster threat detection, and enhance security while minimizing disruptions to the school day.
