TAMPA, Fla. - Hillsborough County students, faculty and staff will head back to school this week after being off due to Hurricane Milton. 

District staff will go back on Wednesday and students will return on Thursday. 

As of Tuesday morning, Hillsborough Public Schools said that 35 schools did not have power, but they have been told by their utility partner that all the schools will be back online within the next 36 hours. 

The district also decided to extend the first quarter to Friday, Oct. 25, to give students adequate instructional time to finish the grading period.
