The question is whether Pennsylvania is willing to do what is right. Young children should not be forced onto public transit simply because state law leaves room for unequal treatment.

Currently, a loophole allows school districts that bus their own students to give public transit passes to children as young as 5 years old based on the type of public school they attend. Propel Schools is fighting for a fix, because a child's safety should never depend on their school choice.

Let's protect our youngest learners. Please share this post to help spread the word, and let your state leaders know that child safety comes first.

Our Algebra 3 scholars from Propel Andrew Street High School recently took on a college-level math exam, proving they are ready for life after graduation!

But the learning didn't stop there. They also toured the historic Nationality Rooms through an ethnomathematics lens—discovering how geometry, architecture, and craftsmanship connect math and culture across time periods.

We are incredibly proud of their hard work, perseverance, and commitment to college and career readiness!

Public charter school students shouldn't be given public transit passes instead of safe, dedicated school buses, especially when school districts are providing those very buses to their own students.

This unfair double standard leaves children as young as 5 years old to navigate public transit alone. You heard, Rep. Mary Isaacson, lawmakers have a fundamental duty to protect the health, safety, and welfare of all children, regardless of the public school they attend.

It is time to fix this inequity. Join Propel Schools in telling our leaders that student safety cannot be conditional. 🛑👇

If public dollars support public education, then public policy must put student safety first.

Right now, a gap in state law allows school districts that bus their own students to issue public transit passes to children as young as 5 years old rather than providing dedicated school busing, simply because they choose a public charter school.

Propel Schools is urging lawmakers to act now. Safe, age-appropriate transportation is a fundamental right that should be extended equally to public charter school students in Pennsylvania.

How much is too much when it comes to child safety? For Propel Schools, the answer is simple: safe, age-appropriate transportation should never depend on whether a child attends a traditional district school or a public charter school.

Right now, a loophole allows school districts to provide children as young as 5 years old with public transit passes instead of dedicated school busing. We believe every child deserves a safe ride to school.

Join us in urging lawmakers to prioritize the safety of our youngest learners.

👉 Contact your representatives today and tell them it's time to close this gap.
