PART X, LINE 2:TLC IS A NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION EXEMPT FROM INCOME TAXES UNDER SECTION 501(C)(3), OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE. THE ACCOUNTING STANDARD FOR UNCERTAINTY IN INCOME TAXES ADDRESSES THE DETERMINATION OF WHETHER TAX BENEFITS CLAIMS OR EXPECTED TO BE CLAIMED ON A TAX RETURN SHOULD BE RECORDED IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. UNDER THAT GUIDANCE, TLC MAY RECOGNIZE THE TAX BENEFITS FROM AN UNCERTAIN TAX POSITION ONLY IF IT IS MORE LIKELY THAN NOT THAT THE TAX POSITION WILL BE SUSTAINED ON EXAMINATION BY TAXING AUTHORITIES BASED ON THE TECHNICAL MERITS OF THE POSITION. EXAMPLES OF TAX POSITIONS INCLUDE THE TAX-EXEMPT STATUS OF TLC AND VARIOUS POSITIONS RELATED TO THE POTENTIAL SOURCES OF UNRELATED BUSINESS TAXABLE INCOME (UBIT). THE TAX BENEFITS RECOGNIZED IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FROM SUCH A POSITION ARE MEASURED BASED ON THE LARGEST BENEFIT THAT HAS A GREATER THAN 50% LIKELIHOOD OF BEING REALIZED UPON ULTIMATE SETTLEMENT. THERE WERE NO UNRECOGNIZED TAX BENEFITS OR LIABILITIES RECORDED FOR THE FISCAL YEARS 2019 AND 2018. TLC FILES ITS 990 WITH THE UNITED STATES INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE AND WITH THE BUREAU OF CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS IN PENNSYLVANIA.

FORM 990, PART I, LINE 1, DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION MISSION, CONTINUED:PRE-GED, GRADUATE EQUIVALENCY DIPLOMA(GED), ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE (ESL), CAREER, AND FAMILY LITERACY ARE CORESERVICES, SUPPLEMENTED BY INSTRUCTION IN COMPUTER BASICS, HEALTH WELLNESS, NUTRITION AND FINANCIAL LITERACY. ALL INSTRUCTION IS OFFERED AT TLC'S MAIN OFFICES IN CENTER CITY ALLENTOWN. A GROUP TUTORING MODEL AND ONE ON ONE TUTORING MODEL IS PROVIDED TO SUPPORT STUDENT OUTCOMES AND ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT. SERVICES ARE PROVIDED TO STUDENTS REGARDLESS OF THEIR ABILITY TO PAY. ESTABLISHED IN 1977 THE LITERACY CENTER (TLC) CONTINUES TO SERVE A GROWING ADULT STUDENT POPULATION IN THE LEHIGH VALLEY WHO ARE SEEKING ENGLISH LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY AND/OR THE HIGH SCHOOL EQUIVALENCY DIPLOMA. DURING THE 2018 ACADEMIC YEAR, SEVENTY-FIVE PERCENT OF ADULT STUDENT ENROLLMENT WAS DIRECTED TOWARD ESL (ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE) AND ESL/CIVICS INSTRUCTION FOR STUDENTS SEEKING TO OBTAIN AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP. TWENTY-FIVE PERCENT OF ENROLLMENT WAS FOCUSED ON STUDENTS SEEKING THEIR PENNSYLVANIA HIGH SCHOOL EQUIVALENCY (GED) CERTIFICATE. DURING THIS ACADEMIC YEAR, TLC CONTINUED TO REVAMP ALL CURRICULA TO DEVELOP A GREATER FOCUS ON WORKFORCE INITIATIVES THAT HELP TO PREPARE STUDENTS FOR POST-SECONDARY EDUCATION, TECHNICAL/TRADE SCHOOL TRAINING AND SUSTAINABLE EMPLOYMENT. TO CONTINUE TO ADDRESS THE ALLENTOWN SCHOOL DISTRICT AND LEHIGH COUNTY'S RISING CONCERNS ABOUT STUDENTS WHO DROP OUT BEFORE ATTAINING A HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA, TLC'S NEW TRACK OF GED INSTRUCTION - SAY YES (YOUNG EMPOWERED STUDENT) TO YOUR FUTURE HAS EXPERIENCED INCREASED ENROLLMENT. WHAT DIFFERENTIATES THIS PROGRAM FROM TRADITIONAL GED INSTRUCTION IS THAT IT IS ESPECIALLY DESIGNED FOR STUDENTS WHO RECENTLY DROPPED OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL, HAVE NOT EARNED ENOUGH CREDITS TO TRADITIONALLY GRADUATE HIGH SCHOOL AND ARE 17-24 YEARS OF AGE. ENROLLMENT, PRETESTING, WEBBASED APPLICATIONS AND GREATER USE OF TECHNOLOGY IN INSTRUCTION MAKE EVERY ATTEMPT TO ELIMINATE AS MANY BARRIERS TO ACHIEVEMENT AS POSSIBLE. TLC HAS BEEN RECOGNIZED BY THE PENNSYLVANIA DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION (PDE) FOR EDUCATIONAL FUNCTIONAL LEVEL (EFL) DOCUMENTED STUDENT GAINS THAT CONSISTENTLY EXCEED THE COMMONWEALTH'S AND NATIONAL RESULTS SYSTEM (NRS) BENCHMARK STANDARDS. TLC EXCEEDED ALL PDE STANDARDS OF STUDENT OUTCOME MEASUREMENT.
