The 2024 general election is on, and outside of candidates, voters in Hillsborough County will decide on whether to renew a Community Investment Tax, plus make a decision about a 1% millage increase that would generate a projected $177 million annually—$150 million of that would go to the district, with $27 set for privately-run charter schools, according to the Tampa Bay Times.
Rob Kriete, President of the Hillsborough Classroom Teachers Association, joined District 7 School Board incumbent Lynn Gray to speak in favor of the millage while former Hillsborough School Boardmember Steve Cona, and Jason Ferger, who runs the Hillsborough County School Board Accountability social media page, were on the line to speak against the proposal.
