Booster Club?

[SouthCarolinaRo]

For the first three years of our teams' existence, we have had a difficult time ordering parts through our school district's finance department. If someone on the team runs to Home Depot/hardware store to purchase something, the school district cannot reimburse this person (against finance policy). If anyone else has had issues with having funds readily available to purchase parts for the robot in a timely manner, have you any suggestions on how to overcome this challenge we have faced using the school district's finance department? Would starting a booster club be the answer? Or are there other options? Thanks.
