HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, Fla. — Hillsborough County Schools Superintendent Addison Davis has chosen which school boundary plan change he will recommend to the school board.
Calling it "one of the most difficult decisions district leaders must consider," Superintendent Davis said he would recommend Scenario 4.
"At the upcoming February 13th School Board Workshop, I will make a recommendation for Scenario 4," Davis wrote to staffers. "This plan was developed after gathering parent, staff, and community feedback that will create stability for students using a multiphase, multiyear approach."

According to Davis, the plan calls for approximately 15,000 assigned students to be reassigned to a new school boundary starting with the 2024-2025 school year. Davis said, "the actual number of students impacted will likely be less and will be determined once students arrive in August 2024. Davis said in his memo that Scenario 4 "creates the least student disruption while addressing many
factors considered during our boundary analysis.
Davis emphasized in a memo to staff and teachers, "all staff will keep their positions and more information will be forthcoming."
