Keystone Academy Charter School

Keystone Academy Charter School is a non-profit organization that provides charter school education services. Through federal grants, Keystone Academy provides meals and milk to school children through the school lunch and breakfast programs. They also use federal grants to provide supplemental education services and support to disadvantaged students.

The federal grants Keystone Academy receives are primarily from the Pennsylvania Department of Education. The majority of the grants reimburse Keystone Academy for providing meals and milk to students through the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program. These are entitlement programs that ensure students have access to nutritious foods during the school day. Keystone has also received grants to cover administrative costs associated with the Pandemic Electronic Benefit Transfer (P-EBT) program. Additionally, Keystone uses Title I grant funding to provide extra academic support to students at risk of failing to meet state standards. They have received multiple Title II grants focused on improving teacher quality and increasing access to technology. Keystone also received American Rescue Plan funding to address pandemic-related learning loss through summer enrichment and after school programming. More recently, grants have helped the school manage supply chain disruptions and food costs during the 2021-2022 school year.
