What is the funding mechanism for coaches at your school? Here at the schools I have been at in NorCal the funds have always been a stipend through the school. I've always thought/heard that other funding sources - Boosters, fundraising, donations, etc. - were not allowed by CIF/state association.
Now I'm hearing that some schools in the SF Bay area are no longer going to pay coaches and instead use fundraising/boosters/donations...
How are your coaches funded? Are 'external' funds permitted?

In FL, schools get a preset number of stipends for teachers who coach.
Non-teachers can get paid from the booster club

School. Our state board sport association doesn't allow coaches to be paid by the boosters.

Wait, so some states actually need to fundraise to get their coaches paid? I'd be out on that.

In my district in Florida, coaches get a set number of stipends. They can go to teachers or non-staff members (as long as they go through the background check process). Some districts let you split stipends so more guys get paid, but the supplements are already pretty low (around 2k for an assistant),

West Michigan (and I would guess most of Michigan) public schools have a specific amount of paid positions written into collective bargaining contracts. I think at our school we have something like eight paid spots - varsity HC, three varsity assistants, JV head, JV assistant, FR head, and FR assistant. Payment amounts are based on percentages of the base teacher salary (step 1) and increase on a per year basis, capping after like five years or something.
All of our high school and middle school sports as well as a lot of clubs and extra-curricular activities are all listed in the union contract. The number of assistants and the pay level vary between clubs/sports/levels.
A school I worked at in the past had more coaches than contracted spots, so the HC would use some money out of the program-specific account to pay them. This was a fairly wealthy suburban district so fund raising was always pretty efficient.

Southern California. The public school district I was at coaches were paid by the district. X number of stipends. Some coaches received full some received partial. HC decided on who received what percentage. Most Frosh coaches were volunteers. They got "paid" by boosters for filming, scouting, etc.

In KY boosters can’t pay stipends or coaches for anything. In fact you can’t use booster or school funds to buy coaches gear either. Now they can give money to the school board to pay stipends but there are restrictions.

In football heaven in Texas the district pays all coaching stipends. We are a 4A D-II school with 800 kids in school, 115 playing football, and 13 HS coaches including the head coach. I spent 8 years in the Bronx, and we had 4,000 kids in the school and 3 coaches paid by the district. We fundraised and our booster club paid our 8 other coaches. When we first started there were no background checks. My last year there in 2005 everyone had to go through getting fingerprinted and a background check.
