Café Con Tampa®

Chris Taylor, Chair, Hillsborough Education Foundation

Speaker Description of The Discussion:

This presentation explores first the necessity of the millage referendum, then second the widespread impact of school funding on entire communities, emphasizing why even those without children should care about and support educational referendums. It highlights how quality schools benefit everyone by enhancing local economies, increasing property values, and fostering safer, more vibrant communities. Join us to discover how investing in public education is investing in the collective future and stability of our society.
