Hillsborough Board of Education - June 22, 2026

The Hillsborough Board of Education held a meeting on June 22, 2026, which included extensive discussions on educational programming, scheduling, and district operations. A significant portion of the meeting focused on the proposed implementation of a rotating drop schedule for the 2027-2028 school year, aimed at increasing course availability and addressing student wellness. Board members and staff discussed the schedule's impact on instructional time, curriculum adjustments, and student opportunities, particularly for advanced placement and science courses. The board also reviewed and approved various administrative items including midyear appointments, board policies, field trip destinations, and several contracts such as waste disposal and transportation agreements. A professional development contract with Living Yes LLC was proposed but did not pass due to concerns about cost and content transparency. Public comments addressed issues including student use of AI in coursework, residency verification challenges, and the importance of quality professional development. The meeting concluded with a motion to enter executive session without further action.
