Darlington County School District continues Red Apple Pass program

DARLINGTON, S.C. – The Darlington County School District (DCSD) continues to offer the Red Apple Pass program, which allows a cardholder to attend school-sponsored athletic, music, dramatic and/or band events held in Darlington County free of charge, except sports playoffs, championships and special fundraisers. To be eligible for a Red Apple Pass card, a person must be both a resident of Darlington County and at least 60 years of age or certified permanently disabled. Current DCSD employees are not eligible.

All district schools honor the Red Apple Pass cards at school-sponsored events. To use the pass, cardholders must show their card at the gate or ticket office. They may also be asked to sign in at that time.

Citizens eligible for the Red Apple Pass program receive a plastic Red Apple Pass card featuring their picture. These plastic cards do not need to be updated. 

Individuals wishing to receive a Red Apple Pass may enroll at the district administration building at 120 E. Smith Ave. in Darlington. Please bring a state-issued photo ID such as a driver’s license. Passes will be issued on the following schedule:

  • Tuesdays, 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. or 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.
  • Wednesdays, 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. or 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.
  • Thursdays, 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. or 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.

In order to enroll, Darlington County citizens must present a state-issued photo identification and, as appropriate, permanent disability documentation from the Social Security Administration.

The school district’s Red Apple Pass program is one of the largest programs of its kind in South Carolina with nearly 7,000 passes issued during the course of the program. The Red Apple Pass program is ongoing, with passes being non-expiring and non-transferable.
