Brevard Public Schools is working to educate residents on the half-cent sales surtax that is up for renewal this election cycle. The current surtax, passed by voters in 2014, will sunset on December 31, 2020. An option to extend the surtax is on the election ballot. The proposed renewal is a continuation of the
current sales surtax. It is NOT a new, added, or increased tax.
