TAMPA, Fla. — Facing down critics at their Tuesday meeting, Hillsborough County School officials said they are continuing to look for money to replace millions in state funding they stand to lose over their position on student masks.
Superintendent Addison Davis said he has consulted with federal officials but received no promise of funding.
School Board chairperson Nadia Combs reiterated her stand that Florida does not adequately fund education and that she too is petitioning the federal government.
