Community Access Program Application

Please coordinate with your school administration and fellow educators to submit one application per school per date. Additional applications may result in processing delays or updates to another teacher’s existing reservation. This application will allow you to reserve between 25-120 free student tickets per school, depending on free ticket availability at the time of review. Additional students in excess of the allotted 120 per school or for trips requested after we have reached capacity will qualify for our reduced rate of $7.00 per student. Dates covered by this program include October 2-31 (M-F) and November 1-15 (M-F).
