Team 1249 has never charged a student to participate. We have some great sponsors and our Board of Education allots us enough to cover the travel to two out of state regionals. I have ask students to pay for meals while traveling on the bus or for lunch at the events. Our county treats us like any other extra curriculumn team. We have a bond levy in our county that helps cover the expenses for field trips and competition trips. Sounds like we are lucky because i am not for sure if i had to charge students that i would have anyone. We also have FTC and sponsor four FLL teams and cover their expenses as well. We do not pay for parents expenses.
