State funding for FIRST teams

[UCGL_Guy]

Here is the wording from the Oklahoma House bill

"SECTION 19. The funds allocated in Section 1 of this act for the Robotics Program shall be expended for the purpose of funding twenty (20.0) grants to school districts in the amount of Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00) each to establish a robotics project in the school districts. Each robotics project shall involve creation of teams of students who with the assistance of teachers and volunteers design and build a remote-controlled robot that is entered into regional- and national-level robotics competitions. The State Board of Education shall determine grant eligibility criteria, solicit proposals, and establish a process for the consideration of proposals. Proposals shall be considered on a statewide competitive basis."
