THAT now stops for 3481 as instructed by UIL certified Northside ISD which is their prerogative--but I don't have to be happy about it.

Starting next season, I have to now turn-away hungry to contribute in FRC and deserving teenagers who will have no other reasonable way of being on an FRC team if they cannot be on ours.

Michael, this sounds like your frustration is not with anyone on this forum, any FRC team, any FRC volunteer, or even FIRST in Texas. If your ISD is instructing you on this policy, then I would suggest you address these complaints to your ISD or to UIL directly. You certainly have contacts in your ISD and there is a UIL contact listed in the announcement distributed by FIRST in Texas.
