Hillsborough School Employees Federation

Hillsborough School Employees Federation Our Union was formed to ensure that our people, our skills and our efforts are respected and that our rights are protected. UNITED WE STAND!

As providers of the essential services required to assure that the children of Hillsborough County have access to an unparalleled education, our children are our priority. As employees of the School District of Hillsborough County providing our children and the taxpayers with the high quality services is our ultimate goal. Our Union is determined to insure that the needs of our members regarding w

orking conditions, hour, benefits and salaries are met and are maintained at a level consistent with the needs of our families. We represent our members before our employer, the School Board of Hillsborough County, to the very best of our ability not only in the matters stated above, but also in cases of discipline. We continually strive for a relationship with the School Board based on mutual respect and trust. However, we remain vigilant in our efforts to assure compliance with our mutually negotiated contract and stand ready to defend it when necessary. As a Union of employees our duty is to our members. Our commitment is to provide them the best services possible.

🚌💰 HSEF School Bus Drivers – Let’s Talk Facts 💰🚌

We’ve seen some comments about “only getting pennies and dimes.” But here’s the truth ⬇️

✅ HSEF Bus Drivers are among the HIGHEST PAID in Florida.
✅ No other county in the state guarantees 8 hours a day – that’s an HSEF win.
✅ 10 years ago, top pay was $19.50/hr. Today, it’s $29.56/hr – PLUS $2.22/hr on all guaranteed hours thanks to the millage.
✅ 2025–2026: Drivers will move to a new salary scale with money added to it AND move up a level – locking in even stronger pay for the future.

That’s not “pennies” — that’s real progress. And it didn’t just happen. Every dollar, every raise, every guarantee was fought for and WON at the table by HSEF.

💪 Our work is never done, but let’s be clear: HSEF drivers are leading the state in pay and protections. And that’s something to be proud of.

🌟 Change Doesn’t Happen Overnight – But Look What We’ve Built Together! 🌟
We can’t fix everything in one year, but every contract we win brings real progress. Step by step, HSEF is raising standards for Bus Attendants — and this timeline shows just how far we’ve already come.

🚍✨ HSEF Bus Attendants – Look How Far We’ve Come Together! ✨🚍

Since Bus Attendants became part of HSEF, here’s what we’ve fought for and WON:

1️⃣ Joined HSEF – and immediately started building power together.
2️⃣ Permanent status for EVERY Attendant – which unlocked free insurance & benefits.
3️⃣ More hours & days – guaranteed 6 hours a day, 193 days a year (up from 190).
4️⃣ Historic wage jump – raised from $11.43 to $15.00/hr, YEARS before Florida’s 2026 timeline.
5️⃣ Upgraded pay grade – moved from PG 15 to PG 16, plus multiple one-time payments.
6️⃣ 2025 wins – moving to a new salary chart + one step increase, AND thanks to the millage, +$2.59/hr on all guaranteed hours. Plus the incentives.

💪 Every single one of these victories came from standing united in HSEF. And we’re not done yet. Together, we keep raising the bar for Bus Attendants across the district!
