PRO Grant Update

The below is from the TDSB school councils FB discussion group. The response is from the Ministry to a question about PRO grant funding.
"
Thank you for your question regarding the status of the 2018-2019 Parents Reaching Out (PRO) grants. Applicants will be advised as soon as decisions are made. As you may be aware, to ensure strong fiscal viability and accountability the government is currently reviewing all Ministry programs across Ontario.

Thank you again for your interest in PRO Grants and for all that you do to enhance parent engagement in Ontario’s schools.

Regards,

The PRO Team "
