How do your administrators help you?

[Mr. B.]

The school district and school administration here in Mt. Olive are very supportive of our robotics curriculum and FRC Teams 11 & 193. I have a very open and supportive relationship with my principal, board of ed members, team sponsors, and parent association. To directly answer your question about administrators, they support our program in many ways: financial, STEM curriculum support, allow us to use the school facilities for state FLL tournament and MAR District Event, allowed us to expand our robotics engineering labs from one to four rooms which are currently under going a renovation this summer, approved our request for varsity team status, and supported our request for stipends for our team advisors? It's been a long time and process, but we are at a point where it's a win-win for all involved. Hope this helps, if you need more specifics or have further questions, drop me an email at dbodmer@mort11.org.

Good luck,
Dave
