STATEMENT OF THE TRUEBRIGHT SCIENCE ACADEMY CHARTER SCHOOL BOARD OF TRUSTEES CONCERNING THE SRC HEARINGS REGARDING OUR CHARTER RENEWAL

The Truebright Science Academy Charter School Board of Trustees is hopeful that the SRC will conductour charter renewal hearings that begin July 10 in a fair and impartial manner, and in so doing, will base its decision on the best interests of our students. It is unfortunate that the Office of Charter Schools recommended that the SRC deny our charter renewal after we had informed the Office its recommendation would be based upon seriously flawed data.

Truebright Science Academy has a global community outreach initiative that addresses very important social issues that are going on around the world such as helping earthquake victims in Haiti...as part of our mission. After hearing of the fallen firefighters of ladder 10; Truebright students, parents, staff and board members united raised money for the fallen heroes' families. Lieutenant Robert Neary and firefighter Daniel Sweeney lost their lives during the five-alarm blaze in Kensington on Monday, April 9, 2012. The school has already raised more than $ 700 for the firefighter's families and will continue collecting money for another two weeks. In addition to raising money; student decorated posters and made thoughtful cards for the families and for Ladder 10. A special thanks to everyone involved in this project who has shown their support for our community. Please click see the below pictures for the related event.
