The written request can be submitted by e-mailing the Board at ftces[email protected], hand delivering the request to front office of the school or by US mail addressed to the Board of Directors, Franklin Towne Charter Elementary School, 4259 Richmond Street, Philadelphia, PA 19137.

The request must include the following:

  • The speaker's name who desires to address the Board
