I don't know the answer to the question of "who's money is it?" but it sounds like a technicality that could get messy if you tried to go in that direction. If you think there's going to be difficulty over the money, can you spend it down? I don't mean buying things you don't need, but maybe you can look ahead and purchase extra supplies, book the buses for future field trips, etc. Another option is to donate the money to the school.
