I think there is a ton of FRC growth potential, even within MN, especially for more rural school districts-- although FTC may be more appropriate-- that's growing as well.

I meant no disrespect to MN. In reretrospect I should have referenced them. Like all humans, I am prone to believe that the world began turning the day I drew my first breadth. I'm from MI so I spoke from that experience.

But of course you are right. The MN story is one that more people should know about and emulate to the extent they can.

To MN, long may she be a hive of FRC growth and activity.
