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 Antonelli Art Institute campus. It offers grades K-2. [3]
