Re: Questions: Support From Your School (Financial & Other)

This information for Team 423:
  1. Public
  2. This is our 10th year
  3. Our school gives us about $1500/year (maybe a little more if we get to champs) and a room in the basement
  4. The team budget is very minimal (a few thousand dollars). It's barely enough to afford the competitions and to build a robot.
  5. The school provides two, low-paying jobs for the team: one mentor and one advisor. Both of our previous job holders gave up the job this year to attract two new mentors (which kind of worked).
  6. The district has 2 FLL teams, one at our 5-6 school and one at our 7-8 school. We don't have a very good retention rate to the high-school team (maybe 2 kids/year). We are sending kids over to try to help improve them (myself being one of them).
  7. No and no (it would be nice though).
  8. We show off at pep-rallies and other school gatherings.
