Re: School Board Problems

To answer some of the questions we are not funded by our school system. We have had to raise all of our funds by ourselves. I do not get a supplement for doing robotics but I do it out of having fun and knowing what the students can get out of it. I do have a supportive prinicpal that is helping.

We are a technical high school that pulls from the other five high schools in our county system. We struggle with the fact we do not have the high school community to help support our program. We have been working on communication of our program and it looks like we have a ways to go. I am compiling information on how much the sponsors have given and how much money our kids have raised to pay for these two competitions. We are fighting to go to this second regional and at the same time trying to find the final funding for the bus travel which as right now we are short. I am hoping that the school board will notice how much work has been put into this robotics team and how many buisnesses have supported our endeavor. I wish there was a closer regional that I could take our school board members so they can see that it is not small robots moving in a high school gym but a professional competiton where over 800 high school students and engineers come together to but theory into practice.
