Denton ISD has introduced a program to provide free admission to district events for senior residents. The Gold Card Program will benefit seniors aged 60 or older who live within Denton ISD boundaries or have a family member attending a Denton ISD school.
The program is set to start on August 3, coinciding with the beginning of UIL competition. This initiative is seen as a way for the district to express gratitude to community members who have invested in local students and schools.
Further details about the Gold Card Program can be found through the Denton ISD, which announced the program as a gesture of appreciation for community support.
