READY, SET, PLAY! 🤩 Our Citrus Park Elementary Eagles are enjoying a brand-new playground, thanks to the half-penny sales tax referendum passed in November 2018.
Playgrounds are just one of the many upgrades made possible by this funding. Other projects include new air conditioners, interior and exterior painting, enhanced safety and security systems, and more.
Since the referendum began, HCPS has completed nearly 900 projects district-wide, totaling more than $1.06 billion in improvements.
