Additional School Board Redistricting Meetings Scheduled

The Hillsborough County School Board, in conjunction with the Planning Commission and Supervisor of Elections Office, will host five additional meetings throughout the community to provide information and receive public input on four options for redrawing School Board member districts 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.

The School Board originally was presented three options and held public meetings and a workshop on those boundary proposals. Since then, a board member has requested an additional option.

This process is required by Florida law to occur in the year after the U.S. Census is taken.

After the public has had a chance to review and comment on the alternatives, the school board will meet to consider the alternatives and public comments, and to adopt new member voting districts.

Public Community Meetings

There will be no formal presentation at any of the community meetings and all meetings will have the same information available for review and comment. All community meetings will be held in the school media centers and will begin at 6 p.m.
