Stipend for advisors?

Please post if your team's school advisors are paid and how much that pay is.

We are paid .072 of base salary, which is about $1900.

I realize there are teams whose advisors are strictly volunteer or make much less, but I feel that in our district, if coaches are paid from .144 up to .231 of base salary that the robotics coaches should be paid as much too!

So, any help would be appreciated! Thanks

I absolutely agree. I've seen the amount of work that our head coach Mr. Cokeley puts in..and it's probably 10x the amount that any sports coach does at our school.
