Re: How much does your school support your FIRST Team?
I've read the "stipend" threads as much as I can and I haven't seen this particular perspective addressed.
I agree that teachers should get a stipend from the school consistent with whatever is being provided to an athletic coach, band director, drama teacher or what have you.
What do you think about paying that teacher out of your corporate donations or other raised funds? Do you think your donators would agree that this is what they donated their money to support? Where do you draw the line or define the policy that your treasury can be spent on? Do you review those policies with your donators or do they tend to not ask questions about where the money goes?
I'm very interested in the community's take on this. I'm kind of new to all this and would like to level set my perspective with other's experience.
Thank you,
