Partnering with the PTA

Since 2019, SchoolForce and all the BRSSD Parent Teacher Associations (PTAs) partnered together to make it easier than ever before to support our schools. Rather than being asked to contribute to multiple organizations, if you donate during the Education Commitment Campaign time period of Aug 1-Oct 31, your donation will cover virtually all of your child’s educational needs.

Both organizations support delivering a quality educational experience for our children, but they do so in different ways. School-Force addresses all the critical district-wide programs such as science, art and music teachers; in-class technology; art, music and physical education programs; professional development; teacher innovation grants; and social emotional learning and support. PTA supports site specific programs such as field trips, assemblies, family nights, classroom supplies, science and book fairs, and more. PTA cannot contribute to salaries whereas SchoolForce provides funding for critical staff positions throughout our schools.
