Ok before I go into details pertaining to starting the team I will explain my situation. Currently I am a student (senior) at the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics in Durham, NC. It is a statewide magnet school for juniors and seniors in high school and is where I first came into contact with FIRST robotics. After this year I will be leaving and moving just a little ways down the road to NC State. Although I have been gone from my home school for a two years I am interested in starting a team in the county. My twin brother is going to college within driving distance of the county (he isnt here at NCSSM with me) but I will not (3 1/2 hours away). I need to know who to approach in the county, the school board, Superintendant of the school systems, technology coordinator for the schools? I have contact with all of these and would have no problem getting a meeting set up with any of them. I have already written up a proposal but I was just wondering who would be the best to start with?
It is a small town/county but I have contacts (esp machining and welding as that is what my dad does every day

) I have talked to some people and I think that I can get at least enough funding to support the team through some contacts. I can also acquire some mentors to help out as well. So who do I go to first?
BTW the superintendant is new and wants to make big changes in the educational system of the county
