Schools across Canada face tight budgets, and students who need extra help don't always get it. With your help, we can work towards a future where a school's budget doesn't limit what its students receive.

​

Your membership gives schools extra, unrestricted funding for when money is tight, and each school district decides how to use it. For example, districts could put it towards:

 

- Equipment and support for special needs children.

- Staffing and resources to address the growing issue of depression and anxiety in children.

- Infrastructure purchases and upgrades like portables or new playground equipment.

- Building modifications for improved accessibility for physically impaired students, staff and visitors.

- Expanded 'brown bag' school lunch programs.

- Seed funding for other fundraising activities.

- Extra curricular excursions and field trips.

- Technology purchases and upgrades.

- Additional school bus routes.

- Hiring more support staff such as Education Assistants, Speech Language Pathologists and counsellors.

- Financial support programs for staff and students.

- Scholarships

​

When funding is less of a barrier, schools can do more for their students. Your membership helps make that happen for public schools across Canada.
