February 15, 2018

I am pleased to introduce you to our newest publication, the 2018 Pennsylvania Coalition of Public

Charter Schools (PCPCS) Charter School Directory & Resource Guide. This Charter School Directory &

Resource Guide lists all Pennsylvania public charter schools, PCPCS business sponsors, PCPCS Leadership,

as well as other valuable information for public charter schools.

PCPCS is the state’s largest and most active charter organization, and our mission is to strengthen public

education for Pennsylvania students by supporting and advocating for high quality public charter

schools. PCPCS advocates for both brick-and-mortar and cyber charter schools and our work spans

across the Keystone State and includes regional training events, school tours, legislative and legal

engagement, data analytics, and media relations.

Each year, PCPCS solicits contributions from sponsors to help underwrite the important work that we

are doing to advocate for charter schools, leaders, parents, and students. We work with companies,

individuals, and organizations throughout the Keystone State to provide services and information to

charter schools. These partnerships are an important part of the services that PCPCS offers to members.

As you read through the information presented in this directory, please take a moment to learn more

about our PCPCS 2017-2018 Sponsors.

As the Executive Director of PCPCS, I would also like to thank our volunteer Board of Trustees and

Leaders Council members. I truly appreciate your wisdom, leadership, and dedication to the public

charter school movement and look forward to accomplishing many great things in the years to come!

Sincerely,

Ana Meyers Executive Director

On behalf of the Pennsylvania Coalition of Public Charter Schools (PCPCS) Board of Trustees, I am thrilled to welcome the inaugural issue of the PCPCS Charter School Directory & Resource Guide. This

Directory and Resource Guide is not simply just a listing of charter schools, but also showcases a community of business partners who represent an array of resources for charter schools.

This Charter School Directory and Resource Guide is intended to make it easy for charter schools to learn

about and contact PCPCS business sponsors. Although information about our sponsors can be found on our website, this guide brings the information together in one handy reference tool.

I would like to extend our sincere gratitude to our business members for their generous sponsorship this year. Because of your support, PCPCS is able to continue doing excellent work for charter schools across

the Keystone State. Your support is not something we take lightly and is very much appreciated by everyone connected with PCPCS.

Please take a moment to learn more about the 2017-2018 Business Sponsors for the Pennsylvania

Coalition of Public Charter Schools.

Sincerely,

Antoinette Rath, Ed.D.

Brian H. Leinhauser

Partner, The MacMain Law Group, LLC

Brian Leinhauser is a founding Partner of The

MacMain Law Group, LLC. He concentrates his practice

in the areas of Charter School law, labor and

employment matters, non-profit and religious institution

representation, and small business law.

As a former high school teacher, Brian brings a

practical and results oriented perspective to the

representations where education institutions are

involved. He leads the Education Law Practice at The MacMain Law Group where he combines

years of legal knowledge, with the practical experience of having attorneys who have worked for

schools, colleges and universities. Public and private universities, colleges, and K-12 schools

face special challenges relating to a multitude of issues. Title IX compliance, investigations, and

litigation present unique responsibilities on colleges and high schools in a complex and sensitive

area of campus life. Special Education, employment contracts and negotiations, student safety

and discipline, and property issues are some of the many areas that are addressed by our

Education Law Practice.

The MacMain Law Group serves schools throughout Pennsylvania and New Jersey in

various capacities ranging from comprehensive preventative counseling, the creation and/or

review of policies and procedures to providing outside general or consulting legal counsel to the

daily “quick-questions” and issues that arise and demand immediate guidance. These include

questions regarding compliance with state and federal law, including Title IX and Title VII. We

also provide training on how to handle student disciplinary issues and counsel and advice on

maintaining the delicate balance required when student behavior is being examined and

discipline is being considered.

We have assisted charter schools in applications for new charters, hearings before local

Boards of school directors, appeals to the Commonwealth Charter School Appeal Board, and

defending non-renewal and revocation proceedings. He is familiar with the Pennsylvania

Charter School Law and all its obligations and requirements applicable to such institutions,

having represented charter schools in the Commonwealth for years. Brian also provides all

education institutions with advice on legal issues that face them including regulatory compliance,

real estate, litigation, employment, special education and governance. He has advised clients on

managing and conducting internal investigations and how to address student disciplinary

investigations and hearings while following the directives from state and federal Departments of

Education and the Office of Civil Rights. Brian has advised clients on Title IX and student safety

issues.

Brian has spoken at conferences and seminars advising private and public employers in

best employment practices, policy review, and matters involving employment discrimination

claims and advised school clients on policies regarding student contact, disciplinary

enforcement, and special education matters.


Charter School Director & Resource Guide 34

Metcalfe, a Philadelphia firm of sixteen architecture, exhibit, and graphic design professionals, works with schools and museums. We know that education can happen anywhere; in the classroom, in the hallway, on the playing field, and in the woods. We are in the business of creating fun, engaging, informal learning experiences and we structure our design process to reflect that goal.

Education and Fun Working in museums has demonstrated to us that people learn when they are having fun. We believe that play is the basis of informal learning and can reinforce your institution's educational goals. We are especially skilled at creating moments of informal learning that are centered on social spaces. Our work at the nature play spaces at Abington Friends School, Springside Chestnut Hill Academy’s VidCAST media lab, the “Eco-Village” at Camp JRF reflect this thinking.

Designing to your Vision Our experience with varied cultural institutions has shown us the importance of understanding an organization's mission and identity before starting the design process. We begin each project by working with your staff to identify end-users, a group with a varying spectrum of design needs. Very young children, pre-teens, adolescents, young and older adults, as individuals or in groups — each requires careful consideration in the design process to assure rich and accessible experiences.

We can help you create a charter school that reflects your unique vision of learning. Metcalfe has created many school projects, including major renovations and new construction at Mastery Charter’s Gillespie Campus, SCH Academy’s Lower School, Southwest Leadership Academy Charter, Wissahickon Charter School, the Community Partnership School, and Greene Street Friends.

Cost Our office keeps cost issues on the table throughout a project. We assemble budget numbers early on, reviewing them with you at critical project milestones, working regularly with cost estimators, contractors, and construction managers from the earliest phases of the design process. Most of our senior staff have worked in the construction industry and are skilled at creating cost effective designs that consider long-term operation.
