This is my first blog post with video so I'm not sure why you're getting the message about the video not available. I checked from home and they seem to be working. They are hosted on YouTube so is there a problem accessing them from your host? Are you trying to access it from within the school? Does your host block YouTube?

I hope the blog helps with your administration. I'm frustrated that the whole North Kansas City School District dropped out of FIRST this year. That is a large portion of the greater Kansas City area. Part of the reason I put the blog together is so people can learn how important FIRST is to the students and the community.

If I was choosing a place to live and considering schools for my kids I would probably avoid moving to NKC. People choose where they live by how good the schools are.

In 2006, the Kauffman Foundation Grant was available to high schools around KC. The grant was $2.15 Million dollars over a three year period. At about the same time North Kansas City School District approved about the same amount of money, over $2 Million, to be spent on putting artificial turf on three football fields in the district.

I keep asking who did the greater good for the NKC students, the Kauffman Foundation or their own school district?
