My own prom was student planned, off-site, and the only thing the school provided was a table in the cafeteria for ticket sales (which funded the event). I genuinely believed this was the standard practice provincially.
And I think it should be.

To be clear, my definitions are:
Graduation=school celebration of achievement, awards & diploma distribution with (perhaps) a tea/coffee social afterwards on site with staff, parent/families
Prom= fancy dress, dinner/dance which may also include an after party (students only)

Is this going to be a funded expectation of the Ministry?

I had this impression because waaaaay back in the 1990s there were many Boards where this was the case. Boards in Ontario have been divested themselves of the liability and cost of “prom” for at least 3 decades.

We have a 6/7 split class in the school where I work.
Some teachers learned about this trend the hard way last week during 1st week back.
We now refer to them only as:
“Class”
“Y’all”
“Mrs. [Name’s]”
“Friends, Romans, Countryfolks”
