History
Springfield Township School District was the first in Pennsylvania to adopt an official stance on the issue of access to bathrooms for transgender students. In April 2016, the school board unanimously approved a policy which states that students are allowed to use the bathrooms and locker rooms corresponding to their gender identity rather than the sex stated on their birth certificate.
A new Enfield Elementary School opened in September 2021 in the same area of the former campus. It offers grades K-2.[2]
Future plans
Springfield Township School District will be the first school district with a fully battery powered bus in the United States.[3]
The middle school is also currently being remodeled; it will be equipped with new geothermal heating technology.[3]
The district is also in the process of getting more smart board technology in all classrooms, across all schools.[4]
