Subject: MEDIA TOUR: Invitation to Tour [SCHOOL NAME] 

​

Hello - 

There are more than 160,000 families in Pennsylvania that have chosen to enroll their students in a charter school. We invite you tour our school and learn about the unique attributes of a charter school and the role we play in Pennsylvania's public education system. 

​

[SCHOOL NAME] serves [NUMBER] students and we have [NOTE SOMETHING UNIQUE ABOUT YOUR SCHOOL],

​

When: [DATES] during school hours of [TIME] 

Where: [SCHOOL ADDRESS]

What: Tour our school and learn about our programming and curriculum. Meet the faculty and hear directly from students and parents on why school choice is so important to them. 

Why: A recent national study found that more than half of parents surveyed were considering or chose a different education option for their child in the last year. Charter schools are an important part of Pennsylvania's public education system and they provide parents with options. The majority of Pennsylvania's charter school students are minorities and/or economically disadvantaged. Charter schools level the playing field so students from all backgrounds and those with unique needs can receive a quality education no matter their income or zip code. Every year, Gov. Wolf has proposed significant cuts to charter school funding and in this year's state budget, he has proposed a cut of $373 million in funding.

​

Let me know if you plan to visit us and some dates that work for you. 

We look forward to hearing from you and potentially meeting soon.
