The Millage renewal invests directly in the educators who serve Brevard students every day. This is not a new tax.

80% of Millage funding supports employee compensation, including additional pay for instructional personnel based on their years of teaching experience and performance.

At Andrew Jackson Middle School, Teresa Huskisson brings 16 years of teaching experience to the classroom. Mrs. Huskisson is our science department chairperson and teaches Cambridge science classes, as well as regular science. She involves students in environmental field trips, advises the STEM Club, prepares and accompanies students to the L3 Harris STEM Competition each year, and has won the AJMS Teacher of the Year award twice! Mrs. Huskisson's valuable experience helps provide students with strong instruction, consistency, and support year after year.

By recognizing the value of experience, Millage-funded compensation increases over time to reward educators for their years of service and dedication to their profession. This investment encourages experienced teachers to continue building their careers in Brevard Public Schools, benefiting both students and school communities.

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 Andrew Jackson Middle 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.

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.
