Answering for 2667, Knights of the Valley.

1. Is your school public or private? Public.
2. How many years has your team been in existence? 8 years
3. What support does your school or district give to your team (money, facilities, other donations)? Access to the shop, a closet to store our stuff.
4. What does your overall team budget look like? What portion of that budget is contributed by your school? Tight. Really tight. The only time the school gives us money is if we qualify for Champs, which hasn't happened since 2010. I don't have direct access to the financial data, but most of the money we spent on our robot this year was in the mecanum wheels.
5. Does the school provide faculty and/or co-curricular paid positions for the team? If so, how many? We have a paid faculty adviser. He gets a small bonus-- this is a similar bonus for any other club.
6. Does your district have FLL/FTC teams as well? How are those funded/supported in relation to FRC? There isn't a distinct "district" robotics program-- we have four FRC teams in our district and they manage their own FTC/FLL programs, in addition to basement teams in the area. Our school has a single FTC team, 9205, which is operated entirely separately from the FRC team and does all their own fundraising. They're actually in a better position financially than the FRC team is at our school, but they do a lot more fundraising and outreach.
7. Does your school have a robotics course or series of programs? Is FRC worked on during these hours? No.
8. What does your team do for your school? Any trophies or banners we win are given to the school and displayed with athletic teams. We also do demonstrations for the school at a variety of events.
