Partners in Education
OCPS' Partners in Education (PIE) program links businesses and organizations with our schools to share resources, both in people and materials. These partnerships are designed to find out how the school's needs and the business's resources intersect in a mutually beneficial manner. We ask that our PIEs participate in at least 3 opportunities per school year.
Ways Businesses Can Become Involved

Donate incentives for students for achievement, good behavior, attendance, report cards
