A Message from Bob Hyde, Vice President of Community Impact, Suncoast Credit Union & Board Member of the Tampa Bay Chamber
As Hillsborough County prepares to vote, one issue stands at the forefront of our local community’s future: the Hillsborough County Public Schools (HCPS) Millage Referendum. This initiative is a vital investment in student achievement and voting YES is crucial for providing resources needed to elevate academic performance and ensure that every student can reach their full potential.
When students excel academically, they are better prepared for higher education and future careers. The funds generated by the millage referendum enable our district’s schools to implement programs and initiatives specifically designed to boost student achievement. This includes expanding access to advanced courses, tutoring programs, and enrichment activities that challenge and inspire our students to excel.
Additionally, the millage will provide essential funding to attract and retain highly qualified educators by offering competitive salaries. By investing in our educators, we ensure they have the tools and support needed to create engaging and dynamic learning environments.
The HCPS Millage Referendum is a crucial opportunity to enhance student achievement throughout Hillsborough County. By supporting this measure, we commit to providing quality education and attracting and retaining excellent teachers. As you vote in this election, remember that investing in our students’ achievement is an investment in our future and in prosperity.
A vote in support of the HCPS Millage Referendum is a vote to invest in our students.
