Pinellas County Schools invites you to attend a Planning for Progress community meeting in your area. As the number of school-age children in Pinellas County has declined over the past decade, the district is engaging the community to help plan for the future of our schools.
There are exciting opportunities each day in Pinellas County Schools for volunteers and community partners to make a difference in the lives of our students.
