I hope you will join us in this effort to bring about a much needed change to our public school system. If we are able to pressure our elected officials to do what is best for all public school students, then both Hillsborough County and the state of Florida will benefit from our collective efforts for equal funding for all Floridian students.
Why is this important?
After attending the Hillsborough County School Board Student Forum, in which high-school students' opinions were heard, it came to our attention that Florida's lack of funding for education comes from our very own state legislator's inability to place education at the forefront of our state's issues. Currently each student in Florida receives $3,000 less than the national average per capita. We wish to change this situation that puts Florida's students at a disadvantage.
