I just did some research on the organizing structure of FRC teams here in North Carolina and was very surprised at the results:

• Only 44% of NC teams are controlled by a traditional public school entity (either a single high school or a single school system ie. "acme county schools")
• 32% of the NC teams have independent organizations created specifically to support the robotics program. Most are organized as 501(c)3 not-for-profit corporations.
• 14% are organized under a National Youth Association, mostly 4-H, but we have one team affiliated with the Girl Scouts of the USA.
• 2% each for private schools and magnet schools, and 6% charter schools.

I'm kind of interested in seeing how this compares to other states. The trend in NC seems to be teams moving away from school control. What's going on in your state? Hard data would be great - but I'd love to hear opinions too.
