Re: Texas teams, need some help

The DiscoBots expanded our program to homeschool students in 2010.
We also have multiple high schools from Houston ISD feeding into our program.

Many of the financial decisions are easy because we are primarily supported by a non-profit organization created by the team.
We decided early on that relying on the school for finances was not a viable option for sustainability.

The only funding we get from the school is travel and hotels. Homeschool students are not financially tied to any of the public school funded travel. Homeschool students are responsible for paying their way or will have our non-profit organization assist.
