As Per the Hillsborough District School Board meeting of 7/23/2020

the start of the 2020-2021 school year has been changed from 8/10/20 to 8/24/20!

Hillsborough Schools begin August 24th with eLearning – transition to choice on August 31st

Superintendent Addison Davis has been tirelessly working to come to a compromise with the Florida Department of Education regarding our school reopening plans. However, state leaders rejected two different phased-in models our district proposed that would have delayed our brick and mortar opening while ensuring our most vulnerable student populations were served in a face-to-face capacity.

To meet the state’s executive order, Hillsborough County Public Schools will now begin eLearning for all students on August 24 and transition to brick and mortar a week later, August 31, for those who choose to return to the classroom.

The first week of school while students are eLearning will be called "Smart Start Week.” This will provide a jumpstart for our learners to allow them to build a foundation for success while becoming accustomed to new health and safety procedures. Teachers will record daily attendance to prepare students for new safety protocols when returning to the classroom.
