Re: Denying Students into class

We have had input from their teachers and other students on the team that know them. What I am asking you is what is the best way to tell them with GP that we don't think they will be right for the class. But we are inviting them to still be on the team and work on the robot during the build season, and come to the competition.

If it's driven solely by the team then you should be able dictate who gets to attend competition and who doesn't. If it's school driven I would caution you on even thinking of denying anyone. The last thing school districts want to hear is an angry parent ripping their head off because their child cannot participate in a school activity because they are percived to be a problem. The school district will crack down on the team in a heartbeat. It's easier to deal with an unruly student than an uncooperative school administration.
