Brink Foundation calls for Hillsborough County school district to make data public....
Then there is the matter of all that money, all those educator observations (more than 40,000 last year) and the treasure trove of data now in the district's possession. Jose Colindres, who runs a foundation for poor and minority students, wanted to know when that data might be made public for parents.
The answer from Elia: The district needs to make sure it doesn't violate a law that protects teacher evaluations the first year.
"We're still analyzing it," she said.

Tampa Bay’s public school districts manage multi-billion dollar budgets that shape the education and well-being of over 500,000 students, support more than 50,000 employees, and involve thousands of vendors and service providers.
While elected school boards oversee these funds, true accountability begins with the community.
Local media reports have highlighted serious concerns about children struggling to receive a quality education.
This reinforces a simple truth: parents, family members, and engaged citizens must play an active role in the educational process.
Whether it’s attending school board meetings, speaking out, or staying informed—your involvement makes a difference.
Stand up for our kids. Show up. Speak out. Help build a school system that works for every child.
