Hillsborough County School District

Hillsborough School District leaders are preparing to welcome students back this fall with the school year starting in just a week.

The Hillsborough County School District was the only one in the Tampa Bay region to have more schools improve their grades since 2019 than decline.

In 2019, there were 28 Hillsborough schools with D or F grades. Now, that number is down to five.

The agreement would provide one-time salary increases for all Hillsborough County public school instructional personnel. It still needs to be ratified by the union and approved by the school board.

Hillsborough and Sarasota are among three school districts that avoided being punished by recently changing their mask policies.

Education Commissioner Richard Corcoran says the districts are noncompliant with a state health department rule triggered by a governor's ban on local mandates, which a judge has ruled is unconstitutional.

The mask requirement risks provoking the wrath of the governor and education commissioner.

Hillsborough County School District officials talked about COVID-19 safety precautions — and expressed frustration with state restrictions — at a press conference Wednesday morning.

The moves will save the financially strapped school district about $45 million in payroll, Superintendent Addison Davis wrote in a letter to parents and staff.
