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

Is your school public or private? Public school
How many years has your team been in existence? 4 years
What support does your school or district give to your team (money, facilities, other donations)? We're allowed to use half of a physics classroom for our workshop, and the district has hindered the attempts for us to build a small workshop on campus, or to be included in the new building currently being built.
What does your overall team budget look like? What portion of that budget is contributed by your school? A large part of our budget is contributed by the school alumni association. Our budget is for 1 or 2 off season competitions, an inner team robotics competition (Our team splits into groups and builds small scale robots for a competition), and then regionals and the robots (practice and competition)..
Does the school provide faculty and/or co-curricular paid positions for the team? If so, how many? There are two teachers for our school's robotics course. 1 is a computer science teacher and the other is a physics teacher. Both only have one course of robotics and the rest are normal.
Does your district have FLL/FTC teams as well? How are those funded/supported in relation to FRC? There are multiple FLL teams in our district, mostly supported by us but I'm not sure about funding.
Does your school have a robotics course or series of programs? Is FRC worked on during these hours? We have a two year robotics course. Year one is an intro to programming and electronics. Year two is for veteran members and we use this class to work on FRC related stuff (Build season, off season, etc.).
What does your team do for your school? Bring home the occasional award for the trophy case, demonstrate at some school functions, working on a t-shirt cannon for school rallies. Lots of computer repair and stuff is done by our team, and we work on the odd project or something for like theater or journalism.

If you have other questions, or need me to clarify something just ask or shoot me a PM
