No. The Satanic Temple gets nothing but a slightly more fair country. The lawyers get 200k.

Sara Rose, deputy legal director of the ACLU of Pennsylvania, which represented the Satanic Temple, was pleased the district will grant the After School Satan Club equal access to school facilities.
Satanic Temple article: https://thesatanictemple.com/blogs/news/saucon-valley-district-settles-over-after-school-satan-club-ban-amid-school-board-election-losses-tied-to-financially-wasteful-ego-driven-legal-melodramas
The settlement (on ACLU's website): https://www.aclu.org/cases/the-satanic-temple-v-saucon-valley-school-district?document=Settlement-Agreement-TST-v-SVSD
E. Nominal Damages
The District agrees to pay Plaintiff $1 in nominal damages. Within ten (10) business days of the District’s receipt of a W9 from Plaintiff, Defendant’s insurance carrier will issue payment.This payment is made in recognition of the fact that Plaintiff alleges a constitutional injury resulting from the District’s decision to rescind approval for Plaintiff’s use of SVSD facilities. The District’s payment is not an admission of wrongdoing.
F. Attorneys’ Fees, Costs, and Litigation Expenses
The Parties have agreed that Defendant’s insurance carrier will issue payment in the amount of Two-Hundred Thousand Dollars and Zero Cents ($200,000.00) in attorneys’ fees and costs to Plaintiff’s attorneys. Within ten (10) business days of the District’s receipt of a W9 from the ACLU of Pennsylvania, Defendant’s insurance carrier will issue payment.
So the $200k is indeed going to lawyers, however those lawyers are the ACLU. Meanwhile, the Satanic Temple "gets nothing but a slightly more fair country". And $1.
$1 which is apparently not an admission of wrongdoing 🙄
Which they are entitled to, and should have been from the beginning.
