The Senior Connection

The Springfield Board of School Directors believes that senior citizens of the District deserve special passes to school activities.

Although many senior citizens no longer have children in school, everyone reaps the benefits of education. The Springfield Board of School Directors is dedicated to making Springfield School District the best it can be, and we recognize that good public schools strengthen our property values and the opportunities our students will enjoy in the future.

Springfield School District is honored to serve our senior citizens through the Gold Pass program, which provides our community with the opportunity to attend Springfield events and activities free of charge. The Gold Pass is just one example of our philosophy of service.

What's a Gold Pass?

Gold Pass allows free admission to all District activities including musical events, school plays, and athletic contests (with the exception of PIAA events). They also entitle the person to whom they are issued free registration in the Springfield Adult School except in courses with restricted enrollments.

The special pass,called the "Gold Pass," may be issued to any senior citizen and spouse who is sixty (60) years of age or older who is a resident of the school district. Passes may be issued only to residents of the District. The major purposes for issuing the Gold Pass are:

1. To recognize and show appreciation to senior citizens for their support of the school system in the past.

2. To make it more convenient for senior citizens to attend school functions.

3. To help create a better understanding of the District by senior citizens.
