The Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida are grappling with several significant issues, including a shortage of teachers, outdated technology, and a lack of funding. The district, which is the eighth largest in the country, has seen a 10% decrease in teacher applications this year. In addition, many schools are still using outdated technology, and some classrooms lack basic resources. The district is also facing a budget deficit, which could lead to further cuts in the coming years.
