How to obtain a government identification card for minor child in Pennsylvania?

A passport is out of the question since both parents have to be present to obtain one. The school district does not issue student identification cards. The state only provides non-drivers identification cards to minors aged 16 and up. Does anyone have ANY idea what government agencies issue photo identification cards for minors? I absolutely need one provided by the government. The kind obtained from a UPS store isn't good enough for the specific activity for which we need a government identification card. As I stated, the DMV (drivers licence place) does not provide ID to minors under the age of 16. Winnie-- The DMV is a government agency. They have non-drivers identification cards. As I already stated, I can't obtain a passport because it requires both parents to be present to obtain one. There is no other parent but me. The event my son wants to attend requires a photo ID by any government agency. A school district is the government. But my son's school district did away with student IDs.
