Every school has funds to reimburse the parents of CTE students through the Parent Reimbursement Grant. CTSO supplies such as business professional clothes, gavels, study material, and even electronic devices can be purchased and reimbursed through this grant. Check with your administration on how your school handles the reimbursement.

There is plenty of money left in this grant. Some schools have spent all of their allotment, while others have not touched a penny. The deadline to submit reimbursement is September 30.

Please, please, please look into this for your students.
