SEMINOLE HEIGHTS - An as-yet-unnamed neighborhood school will receive a donation in November from the Jane Castor Academic Fund.

The fund was created by the nonprofit Seminole Heights Foundation to benefit area schools and recognize newly appointed Tampa Police Chief Jane Castor.

Castor, who is the city's first female police chief, began her 25-year career with the police department patrolling in Old Seminole Heights.

"I'm certainly honored by the Seminole Heights Foundation," Castor said. "I'm very close to Seminole Heights. I think it's wonderful they should recognize me in this way."

The foundation's president, Christie Hess, said a check will be presented to a Seminole Heights school Nov. 18 during the Great American Teach-In. It will be up to school officials to decide how they want to use the money, Hess said.

For information, contact Hess at (813) 503-4877 or go to http://seminole heightsfoundation.org/ wordpress/.
