Question: does your robotics team receive any of the $1,000 or does that money go to the football / athletic department?

St. Al instituted an odd (if you ask me) policy a couple years ago that all fundraising money goes into one pot and is divided "equally" among the school programs/teams/activites. It seems kind of like communism to me but that's what they decided. I'm just a mentor on our robotics team and don't really understand how it works. The band is apparently excluded and has to fund raise on their own which they do quite successfully through concession stand sales at the home football games. Since our robotics team is not actually "part of" St. Al. but rather a community team of students from all over our area and just include a lot of St. Al students we don't get a piece of that pie. The $1000 would go into the general "pot" to help all of the school programs (except the band) at St. Al as far as I know.
