Re: Improving Consent Forms & Waivers

I agree that the current system is rather cumbersome, with the multiple steps required to complete the form. As such, we do things the old fashioned way, and submit paper copies of our consent forms. The students already have to do paper copies of the school consent and insurance forms; adding the FIRST consent form to the package that their parents already have to sign doesn't add any additional inconvenience. As long as FIRST gives us an option to do paper copies of these forms, we'll be forgoing their online system.
