"Released Time Classes" is a State of Pennsylvania approved program which allows public school students to be dismissed from school for religious instruction. 

Students must have parental permission to participate.  These classes are usually held in a church or public building near the school.  The children walk are transported by bus or van.  They are accompanied to the Classes by a teacher or helper of the Released-Time Class.  These classes are not sponsored by school districts but by CHILD EVANGELISM FELLOWSHIP OF EASTERN PA, INC.  The children hear a Bible lesson, sing gospel songs and choruses, learn a Bible memory verse and learn about mission.
