Why were only 13 charter schools chosen to participate?
Schools interested in participating in the TIF grant underwent a rigorous application process consisting of multiple in-depth interviews and a vote by the school’s entire staff that showed 66 percent agreed with and supported the commitment to the Philly TAP system. Since 2007, thirteen charter schools successfully completed this process.
