The Allderdice PTO recognizes the challenges facing administrators and teachers in enhancing the educational environment for our students. Accordingly, a portion of PTO funds raised is dedicated to support educational enrichment projects and is available to teachers, staff, and students through the PTO grant process.
Grant request submissions will be evaluated and funded based on the following criteria:
* Number of students benefiting from the program
* Level of impact upon student education/school experience
* Impact towards addressing equity, diversity and inclusion across our student body
* Administration priorities
* Project duration
Grant funds cannot be used for catering, classroom parties or other personal purchases and such requests will not be considered accordingly.
Receipts or invoices must be provided to the PTO Treasurer for reimbursement or payment of all approved expenditures. Awarded funds must be used for approved purposes only and must be used by the end of the school year in which the grant was approved.
Completed PTO Grant Request Forms must be submitted by the 1st of the month, to be considered during that month's scheduled PTO meeting. This will provide sufficient time for the required review of grant requests and inclusion into the PTO meeting agenda. Any PTO Grant Request Forms submitted after the 1st of the month will be considered at the subsequent month's PTO meeting. Grant requests are subject to approval by PTO members in attendance at the meetings and based on available funds at the time of consideration.
All PTO Grant Request Forms must be approved by Dr. McCoy, the Allderdice principal, prior to being considered by the PTO Grants Committee and voted on by the PTO. Approved grant applications will be notified via email.
The PTO requests that outcomes of approved and completed grant programs are reported back to the PTO by the end of the school year. For program evaluation purposes, this should detail the overall program impact and success.
