Hillsborough County schools has released a proposed school bell schedule for the 2018-19 school year. 

Hillsborough Superintendent Jeff Eakins said the proposed schedule is based in part on several rounds of community input, collected in multiple formats. 

Possible options were created and then voted on in a Bell Schedule Survey, which asked the public to choose one of those six schedule options. 

Nearly 57,000 people responded to choose one of the six options.

The proposed 2018-19 schedule still has to be approved by the school board during an October 17 meeting.
