This question is pushed down to the local level more as FRC transitions towards districts in some areas and FTC/FLL have started to hit capacity limits with team growth. The stated goal for FIRST is to have the progression of programs available in every school district, preferably in every school. The partner organizations are working on answering these questions locally. To simplify this by a ton it usually means growing individual programs by about 10-15%, which includes adding teams to replace those that are lost.

JJ you have been a great help this season and I know you are looking out for the best for the program and the students.
