Re: School Board Problems

I think it's sort of discouraging about the lack of support that a lot of our teams get. We needed some money this year cause our sponsor dumped us a couple years back and the school didn't get any at first. Thankfully, some cooler heads prevailed though and thanks to the hard work of our coach and some good administration members, we were able to get some travel money. I am always just a little disappointed that a lot of schools can spend thousands of dollars on athletics (the lights in our stadium were replaced because they were "too bright."), but they don't give nearly as much to the robotics teams who are actually doing educational things and things that will build them for the future though. Overall though, I am okay with our board. I am allowed to go to 2 regionals and nats this year which is missing about 6-8 days of school.
