TAMPA â The Hillsborough County School District notified hundreds of employees this week of job cuts that will affect class schedules, course offerings and decades-long careers.
Dozens of assistant principals will see their positions cut, leaving them with few prospects for the âsoft landingâ of another job in the school system, said Ray Bonti, executive director of the Hillsborough Association of School Administrators.
