Partnering with the PTA

Since 2019, SchoolForce and all the BRSSD Parent Teacher Associations (PTAs) have partnered together to make it easier than ever before to support our schools. Rather than being asked to contribute to multiple organizations, by making a single donation through SchoolForce, your contribution 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. SchoolForce provides funding for critical staff positions throughout our schools, and also addresses all the critical district-wide programs such as

  • science, art and music teachers
  • in-class technology
  • physical education programs
  • professional development
  • teacher innovation grants
  • and social emotional learning and support

SchoolForce grants to the PTAs support site-specific programs such as field trips, assemblies, family nights, classroom supplies, science and book fairs, and more.
