Since 2006, the government has supported almost 11,000 PRO Grants to School Councils and 372 Regional Grants. This is a total investment of nearly $17.5 million to help increase parent involvement in support of student achievement and well-being.
Parents play a vital role in publicly funded education. Ontario's Parents Reaching Out grants encourage parent engagement at the local, regional and provincial levels. They are designed to support parents in identifying barriers to parent engagement in their own community and to find local solutions to involve more parents in support of student achievement and well-being.
Parent organizations, Parent Involvement Committees (PICs), publicly funded school boards, non-profit organizations and postsecondary institutions operating in Ontario can apply for Parents Reaching Out Grants for Regional/Provincial Projects.
Approved school council projects and regional/provincial projects for 2012-13 are listed below.
