Hillsborough County Public Schools is holding a series of town hall meetings for residents to learn more about a referendum they’ll be asked to decide on in November to boost teacher pay.

“I believe they deserve it,” said Layla Collins, who has two children who attend school in the district. “I do substitute, so I see how hard it is.”
