Re: FIRST in Your School District
Since we are the only high school in our district, we are the only FRC team. We've discussed splitting into two teams due to our size but decided against it unless it gets really out of hand. It's our teams goal to get a Jr. FLL team in each of our Elementary Schools (7, we're at 4 now), and help out at the Middle Schools with their existing programs (Science Olympiads at one and TSA at another). We're also looking into starting an FRC team in a neighboring district.
It hasn't been the school board that's funding this expansion within our district, though, we do it out of our teams pockets. That's not to say they haven't been supportive, but they haven't exactly been willing to throw money at us either.
