Frequently Asked Questions

  • Who can access my District Employee Personnel File?
    Florida Statute 119.071(a) states that public records are open for inspection and copying by “any person.” Your District Employee Personnel File is considered a public record.

    What information is exempt from public disclosure during a file inspection or request?
    Exceptions include information such as social security numbers, medical records and payroll deductions unless requested by a court order or released via employee authorization.

    What dates are used on experience verifications?
    All experience verifications will provide information as of the date it is prepared. If you are requesting an experience verification form before your last day of work at Hillsborough County Public Schools (HCPS), please know that we will not provide a future end date based on your planned resignation. Most school districts require an employment end date, and we will not be able to report your employment end date until that date has past. If your employment separation date has not occurred, please wait until after your last day of employment to request your experience verification.

    How long will it take to get my form completed?
    All requests are processed in the order in which they are received. Normal processing time is 10 to 14 business days.
