 FEEL
GOOD: HELP STUDENTS
As a public charter school, we
receive a per student
reimbursement that barely covers
day-to-day operating expenses.
Our funding is 15% less than
non-charter Philadelphia schools
and 50% less than most suburban
Philadelphia schools. As a
result, we rely on private
donations.

 WORLD

require at least two years of
successful study of a world
language. TSACS will offer four
years of study, including
Advanced Placement courses, in a
world language

Truebright students living 1.5
miles away from the school will
be eligible for free SEPTA

reduced-cost passes.
A letter we received from the
School District of Philadelphia
states,
[On August 14], at a press
conference held at the School
District Education Center,
Governor Rendell announced a
plan to provide Philadelphia
public, private and charter
school students in grades 7-12
free or reduced-cost transpasses
beginning September 2007.
Students who live more than a
mile and a half from school will
be eligible for the free weekly
passes. Those who live closer to
school will be eligible for
reduced costs passes. The free
and reduced-cost plan does NOT
apply to students in grades K-6.
