Questions: Support From Your School (Financial & Other)

[Ari423]

This information for Team 423:

1. Public
2. This is our 10th year
3. Our school gives us about $1500/year (maybe a little more if we get to champs) and a room in the basement
4. The team budget is very minimal (a few thousand dollars). It's barely enough to afford the competitions and to build a robot.
5. The school provides two, low-paying jobs for the team: one mentor and one advisor. Both of our previous job holders gave up the job this year to attract two new mentors (which kind of worked).
6. The district has 2 FLL teams, one at our 5-6 school and one at our 7-8 school. We don't have a very good retention rate to the high-school team (maybe 2 kids/year). We are sending kids over to try to help improve them (myself being one of them).
7. No and no (it would be nice though).
8. We show off at pep-rallies and other school gatherings.
