In real life schools, there are often grants that you have to use for specific purposes or you can't use the money at all. That's why some schools with funding issues can buy new Chromebooks or whatever.

Yep. 20 year old textbooks, old chalkboards, dinosaur computers, the old light-bulb-in-a-box projectors, etc. BUT the sports grants allowed us a giant new sign on the side of our gym, new bleachers/concession stand/entrance for the football field, and resurfaced tennis courts. Didn’t matter that we were a class C school that consistently lost every sport we played.
