Yes you should, I doubt that the TDSB just decided to start funding teams w/o someone asking. Connect with other teams in your district, find out the right person on the school district to approach and give it a shot.

Or bypass your local school board and go right to the provincial government.

Our state level school administration has grants for FIRST teams and that was all started by a team heading to the capitol and talking to the law makers and the office of the superintendent of public instruction.

The worst that happens is they tell you no, the best that happens is that your team in others in your area get funding.
