[Mr_I]

As a teacher, let me say that it is frustrating to see this much enthusiasm in a discussion, knowing that the discussion is off track. Let me see if I can get us back on track.

There is no need or interest in merging teams; there is no need or interest in forming a 501(c)(3); there is no need or interest in getting the Boy Scouts or 4H involved.

We are a private high school with a FIRST team, surrounded by towns whose schools have FIRST teams. (Within 15 miles of our school there are probably 10 schools with teams.) We have students from these other schools that have been on our team, and this is the source of the question:

Is this typical, desirable, or a potential source of problems?

Thanks again for the help.
