Question: Do schools pay when their teams go on road trips?

In my town, the schools, especially the high school are always trying to push a new school budget come election time each year. One time it was about sending the marching band to Hawaii, and another time they wanted the tax payers to budget sending the lacrosse team cross country to compete. Fuck that! If they wanna send the cheer leading squad to compete at Disney World, have their freaking parents foot the bill, not people who don't even have kids in school!
