Re: What does your school do for FIRST?

In 2004/2005, the school board requested we remove the name of our school district from our literature since we are not an official school club. We tried to get "official club" standing and were turned down because:
1) we do not have a paid administrator or teacher
2) we include home school students and those from different districts

However, we have had support from individual teachers and principals. Some of the instructors not only provided extra credit for our participants, but also for any student attending a FIRST event. Two of the principals allowed "field trip" status for students concerned about their attendance.
