Pizzo School Fight Against Rising Rent
Description
Tampa’s Pizzo K-8 school is on the brink of closure due to skyrocketing rent—now over half a million dollars a year, up from just ten bucks a decade ago. The district says the lease costs will hit $16 million over ten years, and with empty classrooms elsewhere, they’re asking USF to renegotiate. But teachers and parents are rallying behind “Project Pizzo,” arguing the school’s vital role in supporting underserved kids outweighs the financial burden. With petitions, emails, and community pressure mounting, they’re demanding a partnership—not just a lease—to keep this cornerstone school open for the students who need it most.
