Schools make up for lost time during Hurricane Irma
Hillsborough County Public Schools will convert four early release days into regular school days to make up for missed time during Hurricane Irma. School will not dismiss an hour early on these Mondays: Oct. 23, Oct. 30, Nov. 6 and Nov. 13, they will instead be full-length days.
Some elementary schools are Extra Reading Time (ERT) schools. If your child goes to an ERT school, you will be notified of a separate schedule change.

Rick and Di Lott made a $50,000 donation to Raider Champions Foundation. The gift helped the organization raise even more money as $25,000 was used as a matching gift to various programs of Plant City High School.
Raider Champions board chair Yvonne Fry and board members Susan Sullivan and Tim Leeseberg presented the plaque to Rick and a bouquet of flowers to Di as a thank you. Board member Lori Yarbrough made the announcement from the booth.
