NEW YORK, Sept. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- BrainPOP, the leading producer of animated educational movies for grades K-12, announced today that it has contracted with the public school districts of Palm Beach County, FL, and Jefferson County, KY to provide its services to a total of 165,000 students.

"There's a real lack of online curriculum for middle school students," said Kim Cavanaugh, Technology Program Specialist for the school district of Palm Beach County. "BrainPOP addresses education standards and provides homework help. It's not just a classroom tool."

According to BrainPOP Chairman and CEO Avraham Kadar, M.D., "BrainPOP's content has kept up with rising standards of education, and we're pleased to see that our product continues to meet the stringent requirements of teachers and administrators of large school districts."

Palm Beach and Jefferson County are now included among other large school districts in Texas, California, New York, and Maryland, to which BrainPOP provides its award-winning services. BrainPOP's content is highly scalable not only to the needs of individual teachers but also to the needs of public school districts with high media visibility and high accountability.
