ROCKLEDGE, Fla. Brevard Public Schools shared pictures inside its supply warehouse with pallets of masks, gloves, wipes, hand sanitizer and more personal protective equipment that the district said is headed to every school by Friday.
The district said to this point, all schools have at least received some of the personal protective equipment and supplies theyve ordered.
Fearing the district's supplies might not have made it before the first day, the Brevard County teachers union said it ordered its own PPE for teachers.
"Because our teachers need it now," Brevard Federation of Teachers Second Vice President Jonathan Hilliard said.
