Prom Tickets:

Hi, Dee,

Unfortunately, prom tickets are generally not considered an allowable expense under McKinney-Vento grant funds. However, districts are encouraged to explore other local resources to help cover the cost, such as PTA/PTO funds, student activity or student assistance funds, staff “jeans day” funds, community partners, local nonprofits, faith-based organizations, or anonymous donor/community sponsorship opportunities. Supporting access to school experiences like prom can help reduce barriers to full school participation and promote a student’s sense of belonging and connection.
