Tell me what you think

Since 2006 I have had the honor of representing all Hillsborough County children and voters...I created this blog in 2007 and have welcomed the opportunity for feed back throughout my term.

I am now a candidate for re-election and I need your help. Visit my website at http://www.voteapril.com/ .

I still want your input. If you think something is wrong, then tell me how it can be better. If you have information that would help our children, employees, or taxpayers, this is the place to share.

Please also note that this is my personal blog, not the board's. Furthermore, the opinions expressed by posters on this blog may or may not necessarily reflect my opinions or those of the School Board.

Again, if you want to follow my campaign you can go to http://www.voteapril.com .

You can also write me at april@voteapril.com or call 813-417-1102 .

At your service,

April Griffin,
Hillsborough County School Board Member, and Candidate
District 6 (Countywide)

Budget crisis...thoughts?

I have been out of the loop recently because of this flu season. My family has been hit hard. Follow that up with a miserable allergy season and pollen counts that are through the roof. And finally top that off with sporadic internet connectivity and you get intermittent posts from me. Please accept my apologies.

I need to update you with some proposals for budget reductions to the Hillsborough County School district.

I want you to share your thoughts. We are currently in contract negotiations and some of the proposals are negotiated contract items so I can't discuss them. But please let me know your feelings and experiences.

View the proposal here post your opinions. I am listening.
