Every dollar received, regardless of where it comes from, is part of the budget. You can absolutely budget for what you believe the costs will be for the athletic programs. Otherwise how would they know how much money to ask the donors to give?
Well we are literally using it as we raise it. Orange Park athletics is operating on a much lower fundraising money than Fleming island because as you can imagine it’s a lot harder to raise funds when you are working w title 1 school family budgets. So how do they make a budget across the board. We have lots of needs, we don’t get them unless we raise the money. Fleming Island at one points entire team wore speed flex helmets, OP had like 10. The rest of the kids wore the old ones that are night and day different on a safety level. That’s not cool and surely was not part of the counties predetermined need for who gets what. We have a car wash, raise money and then the coach can cross off his highest need that he’s able to purchase with the amount of money we raised.
*now I bought my son his own speed flex helmet ($400) had it painted ($170) and since that time I believe the new coach made getting safe helmets a priority and he has purchased many more as we have raised funds.
