The district serves students in the Tampa area."I understand I am the ‘Anti-Hero’ here, and ‘Call It What You Want’, but ‘You’re On Your Own Kid' if you think being a Swiftie is a good excuse for missing important instruction," read a portion of the letter.Raymond James Stadium was where Taylor Swift performed for three nights, from April 13 to April 15, in Tampa.
