Faliero back home in her district

SEPTEMBER 28, 2007

Hillsborough School Board member Jennifer Faliero says she has moved back to Valrico, in the district where she is legally required to reside for a seat representing east Hillsborough.

Her new residence is a townhouse in the SummerGate community. Her two daughters are back in local schools. Faliero initially tried to keep under wraps her summer move to a Davis Islands condo, following a divorce and financial difficulties.

While she briefly enrolled her children in south Tampa schools, Faliero said she intended to get back to east Hillsborough as fast as possible.

“I’m really glad this happened because it gave me time to kind of sort my head out,” she said, noting her enthusiasm to see people again in local stores and feel at home.
