Every school in Hillsborough County was guaranteed a minimum of $500,000 in improvements

when voters approved the Half-Penny Promise in 2018. That commitment has held for every school

in every corner of the county: new playgrounds and athletic facilities, updated security systems and

fire alarms, and reliable classroom and media center technology.

Safer, more modern schools are also part of the picture behind the district earning its first A rating

from the Florida Department of Education in more than a decade.

More than 200 projects are still underway, on track to finish by 2028. #halfpennypromise

Referendum 3 will be on the ballot November 3.
