Re: High School hosting district event seeking same

Hi Brian (and any others who might be asking the same questions),

As far as general responsibility goes, it really depends on what the school actually wants to take on. I've seen it range from the high school just providing the venue all the way to the high school providing the venue, A/V equipment, staff to participate in the planning of the event, and volunteers.

Cost-wise, the planning committees in Michigan generally sought sponsorships from local companies so that the school did not have to take on any cost of the event.

In terms of making this an even more positive thing for the school, the events that I chaired highlighted other aspects of the school during opening ceremonies and other parts of the agenda that didn't consist of robots being on the field. We had the drumline lead all of the mascots in one year, and the choir sing another year. They were a nice celebration of the other talents that the school had to offer.

Let me know if you have any other questions; I would be happy to meet with you since I'm in the area now!

- Lisa
