Are both schools in the same school district? If so who in the school district has control over the program. This may be the person who can help the situation. The after school busing issue may very well be a money issue. The principle does not want his building fund to take the hit for the busing costs. Again this can some times be resolved at a higher administrative level. Our team has had some difficult with the finance issues. Most support our program but, no one wants to take the hit for any costs. I would strongly suggest that this matter be resolved upfront and with district support. Doing an end run around the problem can cause more problems than it solves. Try to remember that their is a major but protecting mentality in school districts. The 1990's saw many law suits that were frivolous but hurt many school districts. Our team is a joint effort from three high schools and every year there are battles. Most of the things that I hate about First Robotics have nothing to do with the robot or First. It's the school district that get's my blood pressure up.
