Re: Public School Teams that allow Private School students to join

Like quite a number of teams, we are an independent club, registered as an engineering Explorer Post through Learning for Life. As a non-profit we have very friendly relations with local schools, and as an Explorer Post, we control our own membership and have liability insurance through LFL. It's a great combination, and totally eliminates public/private/home school member issues. I think the schools like the fact that they aren't on the liability hook when we are at events, too, since these are always "Post activities" and not "school activities." Other robotics clubs register as Venturing Crews (Boy Scouts) and 4-H clubs.
