“The supply zone for teachers was created to meet the needs of the most economically disadvantaged students in brevard public schools. This free store will provide teachers at the district's high-poverty schools the opportunity to shop for essential school supplies for their students at no cost to themselves. The intention of this program is to ensure that all students have the tools they need to learn, achieve, and succeed in school, and to reduce the financial burden that is placed on teachers, many of whom are paying more than 600 a year out of pocket for school supplies.”

“Supply zone for teachers during its first month of operation, the supply zone distributed free school supplies to 218 brevard public school teachers in a special soft- opening shopping event. For the 2014-15 school year, the supply zone's goal is to serve 1,000+ teachers. All of the teachers from the 18 schools with 70% or more of their students enrolled in the free and reduced lunch program are eligible to shop for free supplies. This would enable the supply zone to reach more than 12,500 children from low-income households. Besides serving the schools with high poverty levels, the supply zone will also host special shopping events for the district's homeless student population. Furthermore, the annual back to school giveaway event will be hosted by this program. This event will distribute free school supplies directly to students enrolled in the free and reduced lunch program.”
