HOW ARE FUNDS USED?
Each year, Lord Byng PAC funds numerous teacher and student initiatives and activities throughout the school following our Wish List process. Criteria that influence the allocation of funding include the following:
-
Is the request for PAC funds valid / important to the school?
-
How many students will benefit?
-
Are alternative sources of financing available (e.g., school, VSB, student council)?
-
How much funding has this activity or group already received in prior years?
Examples of initiatives and activities funded in the past include Athletics, Drama, Music, Safe Teen workshops, Math contests, student clubs and more!
