What dollar amount and % of the BCSC budget for schools and ECA are from fundraising activities by the students?

Fundraising events are not part of the BCSC budget at all. Determined on a school by school basis, fundraisers typically are for a specific purpose and may be driven by the school's PSG (Parent Support Group). The Yankee Candle fundraiser, however, is a Brownsburg Education Foundation event that all elementary schools and the middle schools participate in. Those funds are returned through BEF grants to classrooms for specific projects and to seniors in the form of scholarships. Last year, the BEF raised $54,000 from the Yankee Candle sale - over half of the $96,000 they returned to BCSC classrooms.
