I know that this year (after much campaigning) our teacher-mentor is getting a stipend from the school board for robotics. As for the amount, and whether that applies to other robotics teachers in the district I can't speak for. I suspect it doesn't, because she's also helping develop a FLL/FTC-based robotics curriculum to be used in elementary/middle school science classes.

We've made major headway with out school board/superintendent this year. I think anyone else facing resistance like we did should remember that when encountering resistance, persistence is the key.
